Capturing high-resolution epigenomes to redirect cell destiny in neurological disease states
Description: The epigenome is the master regulator of cell fate and function, and subject to spectacular failure in disease. With frontier methodologies to capture epigenomes at unprecedented resolution, this project will focus on the aging brain to determine how brain cell-specific epigenetic changes drive neurological disease states in males and females, and importantly, how to reverse them. This work bridges the gap between technology and fundamental knowledge with the goal to improve future therapies.
