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, with a focus on understanding mechanisms of histone plasticity.  

 

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