CHROMATIN AND EPIGENETIC REGULATION
Our mission is to implement innovative scientific approaches and develop useful tools, reagents, and therapeutics that advance our understanding of chromatin function in key areas of biomedical research. Central to the success of this mission is our dedication to the education and training of scientists to prepare them to become leaders in society.
