    Collapse Overview
    My lab studies how the environment influences brain function in health and disease. We approach this broad question by studying epigenetic modifications that store the molecular responses of a cell to its environment. Our major focus is understanding epigenetic mechanisms underlying cell-type specific gene expression. We use next-generation sequencing techniques in cellular systems or model organisms. The identification and manipulation of epigenetic processes in the brain may enhance our basic understanding of brain function and open the door to new treatments for brain diseases.
