Epigenetics

research_themes_epigenetic_880x300.jpg

The field of Epigenetics focuses on the molecular information layered on top of our genetic code that determines its regulation. The epigenome is dynamic, representing an interface between genetics and the environment, making it ideal for studies on healthy aging and complex disease. Researchers in this cluster are using innovative technologies to uncover biological mechanisms and pathways underlying the pathogenesis of complex diseases and identify targets that represent novel disease biomarkers, hallmarks of genome instability, directed therapies, and clinically relevant diagnostic signatures.
