RESEARCH DESCRIPTION:
We investigate how chromatin modifications that control gene expression and that can be transmitted across cell divisions control the establishment , maintenance and disruption of cell identity in development and disease. For this purpose we use genomic and gene editing techniques wide techniques to query the epigenome and transcriptome at the population and single cell level. Ultimately we are interested in gaining fundamental insights into cell fate and
applying the information to derive cells with desired properties for regenerative therapy.
