Chromatin Regulation of Innate Immunity

Role in cell identity, function, and human complex immune disorders 

What We Do

Our lab’s research program is centered on understanding how chromatin mechanisms regulate innate immune cell differentiation and functional responses to environmental cues and how loss of this regulation contributes to immune disorders.
