Our research spans from chromatin to synthetic biology and novel biological applications. While our work is multifaceted, our projects are linked by a focus on understanding the regulatory mechanisms governing combinatorial chromatin states in health and disease. We employ various methods ranging from biochemistry to protein-engineering, genomics, proteomics, cell biology, and genome editing. One of our specialties is the proteomic profiling of distinct chromatin regions decorated with specific modifications. Please get in touch with us for more information or collaborations. Read more...
