Stem cell and cancer epigenomics Our lab's main research interest is focused on epigenomic control of stem and cancer cell behavior. We are particularly interested in three types of regulatory factors: MYC proteins, DPPA4/2, and the histone variant H3.3. Althought these proteins are not related to each other at the amino acid level, they share the same pattern of having key roles in normal stem cells and, when deregulated, in cancer. To study these factors we use a variety of methods including genetics, cell and molecular biology, genomics, protein biochemistry, and emerging gene editing technologies.
