About Us
The goal of our research is to develop a concrete mechanistic understanding of gene regulation. We seek to understand how specific proteins, acting in accord with the laws of physical chemistry, recognize and gain access to their DNA target sites in chromatin, and, conversely, how the nucleosomal organization of chromatin and higher order chromatin folding modulate the action these proteins. |
