Overview
Cell identity is governed by the spatial and functional organization of the genome within the nucleus. Our lab investigates how chromatin architecture, epigenetic regulation, and nuclear mechanics collectively determine gene expression and cellular function.
We are particularly interested in how perturbations of these systems reconfigure transcriptional and metabolic programs, contributing to the onset of cancer, metabolic disease and neurodevelopmental disorders.
