Our hybrid laboratory (combining wet and dry methods) focuses on developing computational tools and producing sequencing datasets for analyzing multi-omics interactions in the context of epigenomics drift.
Our research is divided into three main axes:
Investigating the chromatin dynamics regulated by transcription factors in the context of epigenomic drift.
Investigating the contribution of the microbiome in the epigenomic drift.
Investigating the contribution of the epigenomic drift in genome instability.
Overall, using integrative approaches, our laboratory’s goal is to deepen our understanding of epigenomic drift and its underlying mechanisms. By analyzing these different omics layers, we aim to better describe and understand the role of epigenomic drift in pathophysiology.
