Biography

Tony Southall is an Associate Professor in the Department of Life Sciences at Imperial College London. His research focuses on molecular genetics, specifically the role of chromatin remodeling in gene regulatory networks that drive the maturation and differentiation of neurons in the developing nervous system. His work investigates the cellular changes that neurons undergo as they mature and aims to uncover the chromatin remodeling processes involved in neuronal maturation. Southall has contributed significantly to the understanding of the condensin complex and the NuRD complex in this context. His techniques include the use of cell-type specific profiling methods like TaDa to map transcriptional states and genomic binding of regulatory factors. Additionally, he developed the CATaDa profiling method for chromatin analysis in a cell-specific manner, and a new method for temporal control of the GAL4/UAS system in Drosophila.
