Dissertation Research
The Hainer lab studies the similarities and differences in chromatin structure among different cell types. We are particularly interested in understanding how chromatin regulatory factors and the non-coding transcriptome affect cell fate decisions. I’m studying the role of the conserved histone chaperone, FACT, in maintaining mouse embryonic stem cell pluripotency. This project in its core involves chromatin biology and aims to take a systems approach by integrating with computational biology and genomics.
