Personal profile

Research

My group applies biochemical and functional genomic methods to explore mechanisms underpinning chromatin regulation in stem cell models of the human brain. I am particularly interested in the epigenetic control of repetitive elements, so-called 'genomic dark matter'. 

The big mechanistic questions my lab is currently tackling are:

1. How are repetitive genetic elements regulated by epigenetic mechanisms and chromatin structure?

2. How does this regulatory framework influence human brain evolution, development and degeneration?
