Research Interests
In my work as a geneticist, I have concentrated on the study of chromatin structure and gene regulation. My research has explored how the organization of chromatin influences gene expression and cellular differentiation. By understanding the molecular mechanisms that control chromatin dynamics, I aim to uncover new insights into gene regulation and its implications for development and disease. My work is driven by a passion for advancing genetic research and improving our understanding of cellular processes.
