Research summary

Andrew R. Morton studies how the way DNA is packaged and regulated inside cells shapes the behavior of brain tumors and other cancers. Much of the work maps the 'switches' (chromatin and enhancer landscapes) that control gene activity in cancers such as glioblastoma and meningioma, including how disrupting the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm) might be used to target tumor stem cells. The goal is to identify new biological weak points that could be targeted with drugs.
