Nuclear Architecture as a Regulatory System
We study the nucleus as an active regulatory environment in which genome organization is integral to gene control. Our work focuses on nuclear cytoskeletal proteins - particularly actin and myosin - as key mediators of chromatin organization and transcriptional dynamics.
These factors:
- Regulate chromatin accessibility
- Enable long-range genome interactions
- Coordinate transcriptional programs
Through these mechanisms, nuclear architecture functions as a determinant of cell state.
