This researcher studies how proteins interact with chromatin, the packaged form of DNA and histone proteins inside cells, focusing on enzymes and reader domains that modify or recognize histone marks. Their work examines complexes such as HBO1, MOZ/MORF, and MORC ATPases, exploring how these proteins bind nucleosomes and influence processes like transcription and HIV DNA integration. The research combines structural biology and biochemistry to explain molecular mechanisms at the level of individual protein domains.
Publication output has been steady but modest over the last decade, averaging about 2 papers per year with a gap in 2018 and 2025.
