Major Research Interests
We wish to uncover the rules governing gene expression in response to developmental and extra-cellular cues. Genome architecture is thought to be a major determinant in this. What we strive to understand is how chromatin (re)folds to accommodate responses to such cues in 3D nuclear space and dynamically over time. In the end, we anticipate these rules to be general ones, which once deciphered will allow us to predict how a cell might respond upon signalling, in the context of disease, or during cellular ageing.
