研究领域

We are interested in the regulation and function of the protocadherin and Ugt clusters during brain development as well as in brain diseases. To this end, we have developed novel methods of CRISPR DNA-fragment editing or chromosomal rearrangements to investigate mechanisms of three-dimensional (3D) genome folding. Finally, we are interested in the role of genome architectural protein CTCF in higher-order chromatin structure and its dynamic regulation.
