Madapura Lab

Based in Blizard Institute, Pradeepa Madapura's lab research focuses on the role of histone acetyltransferases, histone acetylations and reader proteins of acetylations and their role in development and disease. We use human and mouse stem cell differentiation system, neurodevelopmental, pregnancy disorder, and cancer.
