Research:

My research group is focused on building robust and scalable enabling technologies to study the organization of chromosomes in 3D space, the interactions they participate in at the inter- and intra-chromosomal level, and the associated RNAs and proteins that occupy functionally relevant sites. The motivation for this work is to better understand the mechanisms by which the organization and composition of genomic intervals relevant for health and disease impact the essential DNA transactions of transcription, replication, and repair. We also are committed to building ecosystems supported by open-source software, low-cost hardware, and extensive documentation to democratize the adoption of advanced single cell and spatial approaches in order to facilitate their application in a broad range of research settings.
