Discover our lab

Genes make up only 2 percent of our DNA. Within the remaining 98 percent lie other extremely important sequences that function as gene regulatory elements, instructing when, where, and at what levels to turn genes on or off. Mutations in these gene regulatory elements can have a significant impact on human diversity and disease. However, discovering them and understanding their function still remains a major challenge, one that our laboratory is working to resolve.
