The ETH Board has announced 18 promotions of Professors and two new appointments. Among them, David Suter, Tenure Track Assistant Professor at EPFL, has been promoted to Associate Professor of Life Sciences at EPFL’s School of Life Sciences.
Following an announcement from the ETH Board, David Suter has been promoted to Associate Professor at the School of Life Sciences, where he directs directs a lab studying gene regulation and cell identity.
The laboratory of Professor Suter develops quantitative approaches to monitor gene expression in single living cells, in order to study the molecular bases of cell fate decisions in the context of pluripotent and cancer stem cells.
Professor Suter’s group has developed innovative live cell approaches to monitor transcription, protein synthesis, and protein degradation rates, to shed light on the time scales of transcriptional memory and on protein homeostasis at the single cell level. They also combine these methods with genomics approaches to map transcription factor binding, chromatin accessibility and transcription, as well as biophysical approaches such as live cell, single molecule imaging. They are now taking advantage of this toolbox to further our understanding of self-renewal through quantitative analysis of transcription factor networks and gene-expression memory.
