Prof. Carsten Carlberg: Professor for biochemistry at the School of Medicine, Institute of Biomedicine at the University of Eastern Finland. The main research interests of Prof. Carlberg are (epi)genomics of nuclear receptors and their ligands with special focus on vitamin D. So far he published more than 200 papers (H-index 54). Since 2001 he is lecturing yearly courses on epigenetics and gene regulation, which are the basis of this textbook. Together with Dr. Molnár he also published the Springer textbooks "Mechanisms of gene regulation" and “Nutrigenomics”.Dr. Ferdinand Molnár: Project researcher at the School of Medicine, Institute of Biomedicine at the University of Eastern Finland. The main research interests of Dr. Molnár are the molecular structure of nuclear receptor proteins and their natural and synthetic ligands, on which he published more than 27 papers (H-index 17). Together with Prof. Carlberg he published the Springer textbooks "Mechanisms of gene regulation" and “Nutrigenomics”.
