Early education
editFrom 1988–1992, Pombo did her Bachelor of Science as well as her Master of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Lisbon.[6][7] In 1998, Pombo graduated with a DPhil (Physiological Sciences) from the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford,[6] where she described transcription factories in the mammalian nucleus.[2][8]
Research and career
editFrom 1998 to 2002, Pombo was a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford.[7] In 2000, Pombo started her own research group at the MRC London Institute for Medical Sciences, Imperial College London.[9] From April 2012 till March 2015, she was a full professor (0.2 FTE) in Cell Biology of the Institute of Clinical Sciences (ICS) at the Imperial College London.[7] In 2013, Pombo moved her lab to the BIMSB at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine.[6][9] Her research aims to characterize the interaction between gene regulation and genome architecture, to determine the underlying rules and principles of functional genes.[10]
