Research interests

  1. Understand how chromatin states relate to gene expression
  2. How epigenomes of various stem cells change during differentiation; and how the characteristic tissue-specific epigenomes change during reprogramming
  3. How chromatin modification (DNA methylation and histone modification) are established and maintained; in particular identification of genomic features that allow prediction of epigenetically labile genes
  4. Contribution of chromatin state to variability or "noise" in transcription
  5. Computational analysis of epigenetics modification patterns
  6. Genome organization and evolution
