Research summary
3D Genome Architecture — Investigating how higher-order chromatin organization contributes to the regulation of cell fate, with a particular focus on major satellite (MajSat) clustering and its role in stabilizing pluripotent genome structure.
Chromatin Accessibility — Exploring how chromatin regulators and transcription factors shape accessible regulatory landscapes to control gene networks.
Totipotency–Pluripotency Transition — Studying the mechanisms by which totipotent loci are released from repressive structures, and developing approaches to reset pluripotent cells into totipotent-like states.
