Title: Worms come in many colors
Ref: BL-0002
Author: Adam Klosin
Size: 800 x 800
Description: Caenorhabditis elegans adult worms with their progeny trapped within them. Embryos where subjected to reprogramming into muscle fate the day before. In red (mCherry) - muscle spcecific transcriptional reporter. In green - GFP driven from a heat shock promoter. In blue - gut granules present in the intestine. Small red spheres are reprogrammed embryos. Green spheres are embryos that did not reprogram despite strong level of induction of transgene.

Title: C. elegans reprogrammed embryo.
Ref: BL-0001
Author: Adam Klosin
Size: 800 x 600
Description: Most cells of a C. elegans embryo where reprogrammed to muscle fate by overexpression on a Transcription Factor Myo-D. Green - muscle specific reporter. Red - foregut specific reporter. Blue - autofluorescent gut granules. Foregut precursor cells are more resistant to reprogramming than other embryonic blastomers.

Research and Interests
To what extent is it possible to predict phenotypic differences amongst individuals from their completely sequenced genomes? Dr. Lehner’s research focuses on combining genetic information with phenotypic predictors to understand how differences between individuals originate in the interaction between genetic, environmental, life history, parental and stochastic sources of variation.
Further understanding how differences between individual originate, will provide better prediction of disease risks and improved treatment outcomes for patients.
