Dr. Edward Grow is an Assistant Professor at the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The Grow lab takes genome-wide, single-cell, and computational approaches to deeply understand epigenome and transcriptome landscapes and how they are reprogrammed. In particular, they focus on the molecular event known as embryonic genome activation (EGA)–the exciting final act in the “egg to embryo” transition that is largely driven by the egg.
