We are interested in understanding chromatin features that pattern 3D genome architecture during adipogenesis and breast cancer tumorigenesis.

Cell fate decisions are programmed by multiple layers of regulation of gene expression involving chromatin modifications and a dynamic organization of the genome in the 3-dimensional cell nucleus space.
CollasLab is interested in understanding chromatin features that pattern 3D genome architecture during adipogenesis and breast cancer tumorigenesis.
To this end, we combine cell biological, biochemical, imaging, genomics and computational approaches.
