Our lab is keenly interested in how chromatin and transcription factor binding dynamics drive cell specific gene expression, primarily working in murine embryonic stem cells.

Program 1 Research Interests

While all of the 200+ cells found in your body have the same DNA sequence, they all have specialized functions. Therefore, it is not the DNA sequence that drives these functions, but rather the utility of the DNA in each cell. Appropriate gene regulation is driven by epigenomics and our lab studies these mechanisms.
