Walid Fakhouri's Problem Solving Experience:
- 1. I studied how a rare mutation in the enhancer element of interferon regulatory factor 6 disrupts the expression level of its gene and could lead to orofacial clefting in human.
2. My coauthors and I built a transcriptional regulatory model to predict the gene expression level during embryonic development. This work was published in Molecular Systems Biology Nature EMBO 2010.
4. Identified the first ligand binding receptor for the endocrine disruptor atrazine in pituitary cells. This work was published in Environmental Health Perspectives 2010.
3. I solved the chemical structure of a novel antibiotic compound. This work was published in Phytochemistry journal in 2001.
