Exploring genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that govern chromosome inheritance during meiosis,  early development, and aging.

 

Specifically, we aim to define how the centromere, an epigenetic mark that controls chromosome segregation, is inherited through unique challenges in reproduction and embryogenesis.  

 

We use cell biology, microscopy, evolution guided genetics, comparative reproductive biology, and biochemistry to address open questions in reproductive epigenetics.
