Cornelius Elferink has over 25 years experience working on the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR). My research on the AhR began during my Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University. I subsequently became an independent investigator and directed my research towards understanding the role of the AhR in cell cycle control and apoptosis, with an emphasis on liver homeostasis. More recently my laboratory has concentrated in the AhRs role in transcriptional and epigenetic processes involving the novel AhR DNA-binding partner, Kruppel-like Factor 6, and have begun to examine AhR-driven systemic signaling events between the liver and extrahepatic tissues including the pancreas and adipocytes.
