Scientific interests
We use model gene networks in yeast cells to study a) the dynamics of basic transcriptional regulation, b) the molecular base of epigenetic inheritance of transcriptional states, and c) the mechanism(s) underlying age-related changes in cellular function and gene expression. Current projects include studies on global transcriptional co-activators and co-repressors, chromatin mediated transcriptional regulation, on molecular mechanism(s) underlying epigenetic transmission of cellular memory and studies on the asymmetric inheritance of damaged macromolecules upon cellular aging.
