Profile
David Shore is the Project Leader of the Collaborative Research Project 'Environmental stress-induced dynamic modulation of chromatin structure, gene expression and nuclear architecture in yeast'.
1. You are a project leader in the EUROCORES Programme EuroDYNA, which focuses on nuclear architecture and chromatin function. Why did you become involved in this area of research?
Through a colleague and old friend who was aware of the call. He suggested we’d join and put together application. So the four of us put together application and we were awarded the grant.
2. What is your experience so far of EuroDYNA?
Funding is always useful but apart from that, the opportunity to get together with the people in my particular project and other projects has been useful so that’s the great value of this programme. I’ve certainly learnt and done things that I would have not done otherwise.
3. Now that EuroDYNA is coming to an end, what are your hopes for the future?
I hope to continue to be able to collaborate with the people I have developed working relationships with in EuroDYNA but I have to find other funds.
4. Any motto you could share with us on how you do your job? What are your passions in life? What ambition would you still like to fulfill?
Basically I do what I do because I enjoy it. I’m very lucky, I think everyone that work in science is extremely lucky, being able to spend our lives doing something we enjoy and which is a passion. My ambition is to be able to carry on working in science for another 10-15 years and enjoy it.
