Our laboratory goals

Single‑cell genomics

Applying tissue-specific and single-cell ATAC‑seq, CRISPR/Cas9 & optogenetics to dissect regulatory dynamics in developing embryos.
Discover more

Genome regulation

Exploring how enhancers and transcription factors orchestrate spatiotemporal gene expression during embryogenesis.
Discover more

3D chromatin topology

Investigating enhancer-promoter loops and the role of TADs in gene regulation using imaging, genomics & genetics.
Discover more

Genetic variation & robustness
