Area(s):
Epigenetics
Genetics / Genomics
Areas of expertise:
Almost every cell type in the human body has the exact same DNA, a complete human genome, and yet each cell type expresses a distinct set of genes which shapes its identity and allows it to perform its function. This ability to express different genes from the same genome is facilitated by epigenetic marks: chemical modifications of DNA and histones. Our lab uses stem cells and model organisms to determine how the epigenome is shaped during human development
