Our lab is investigating the role of chromatin and RNA in controlling transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulatory processes. We are focusing on gaining mechanistic insights into how small non-coding RNAs induce changes in chromatin and transcription in animals. We are also aiming to identify the role of chromatin on post-transcriptional gene regulatory processes. We use an interdisciplinary approach combining biochemistry, genetics, cell, molecular and computational biology and functional genomics as key tools to tackle these exciting questions.
