Laboratory for Functional Epigenetics

Division

Lifecycle:1 Oct 2017 →  Today
Organisation profile:

Our research interest is in the epigenetic causes of human diseases. We tackle scientific problems by leveraging cutting edge genomic tools, in vitro and in vivo experiments and insights derived from patient samples. This enables us to address questions that were hitherto impossible to be answered. we am thus uniquely poised to characterize the nature of epigenetic signals that are changed in disease, how they are perturbed and how they contribute to pathogenesis. The ultimate aim of our laboratory is to have a significant impact on patients and their treatment, by understanding the functional role of epigenetic changes in development and disease.

Keywords:cancer, epigenetics, embryonic development, cellular heterogeneity, cellular plasticity
