Research Interest
For successful development, the information stored in the genome needs to be precisely regulated. During differentiation, each individual cell uses an ever-changing repertoire of epigenetic mechanisms to achieve proper control of gene expression. Our research focuses on understanding how the cell nucleus specifies the identities of the different cell types in the body, and how changes of cell identity are regulated in development.
