Research summary

We are interested in understanding how epigenetic marks are placed, read and interpreted on chromatin. We then use our defined modified chromatin to study individual nucleosome-chromatin protein complexes using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM),  Biochemical, Biophysical and Cell Biology approaches to investigate histone marks and DNA methylation.
