Research Interests: Cellular senescence, chromatin changes with aging, miRNAs, neural stem cells, epigenetics
My research investigates the role of non-coding sequences in age-associated cellular decline. We study how changes in chromatin structure in heterochromatic regions of the genome lead to dysregulation of these sequences, ultimately influencing a wide range of cellular processes.
