Our team
Our lab seeks to understand how genome structure and function are connected. We develop unique methods to manipulate genome structure in healthy and cancerous cells with the future goal to transform personalised cancer treatment. Our small team creates a collaborative, respectful atmosphere, conductive of independent learning and thinking. Each team member has their independent project, carrying out both experimental and computational analyses and synergizing for shared goals.
