Research Focus
Melanoma Biology
Investigation of melanoma development and progression through the lens of developmental biology and cellular differentiation.
Epigenetic Regulation
Study of epigenetic mechanisms that control gene expression in melanoma, including DNA methylation and chromatin modifications.
Histone Modifications
Analysis of histone modifications and their role in melanoma development, progression, and therapeutic resistance.
Therapeutic Targets
Identification of epigenetic targets for melanoma therapy, including development of combination treatment strategies.
