Our Science

Tools that we use:

  • superresolution microscopy

  • spatial transcriptomics

  • genomics

  • genome engineering

  • biophysical modeling

Questions we seek to answer:

  • How does a dynamic nuclear environment encode stable gene expression programs?

  • How does 3D genome organization regulate epigenetic memory?

  • How do subtle changes in genome organization lead to large changes in gene expression in a context-dependent manner?

  • How do the proteins that regulate epigenetic systems interact with chromatin to alter genome folding?

Can we use gastruloids to understand how genome organization regulates spatio-temporal patterning durning development?
