Centre for Epigenetics

Mechanistic Basis of Human Disease

We investigate molecular mechanisms underlying various human diseases. Our multidisciplinary research spans transcriptional and epigenetic regulation, RNA biology, immunology and transposable elements. Employing functional genomics, bioinformatics, biochemical and single-cell analysis, we aim to uncover fundamental processes and develop novel therapeutic approaches in cancer, cardiovascular, neurodevelopment, metabolic, and other chronic and aging-related diseases.
