Robert A. Policastro studies how genes are switched on and off through epigenetics (chemical marks on DNA and proteins that control gene activity) and how these processes go wrong in diseases like colorectal cancer. The work includes developing laboratory methods to map where genes start being read and where regulatory proteins bind, as well as contributing to research on xenotransplantation, the use of genetically modified pig organs and cells for transplantation into other species.
Publication activity has grown over the decade, with a notable peak in 2023.
