“We are focused on understanding the epigenetic regulation of gene expression in mammalian development and diseases, including Parkinson’s, autism spectrum disorders, and Rett and Fragile X syndromes. We have used patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells to develop sophisticated models of conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.”
