RESEARCH INTERESTS:
The Reinberg lab investigates the regulation of gene expression in higher eukaryotes, with particular attention to the role of chromatin structure and processes that regulate it, which are fundamental for the epigenetic inheritance of transcriptional states. In recent years our research has focused on chromatin-modifying complexes and the means by which they are
recruited to target sites on the genome thus establishing distinct cell identities. Recent work has unveiled a key and complex role of non-coding RNAs in these processes. Finally, a separate but related research projects aims at establishing the social insects ants as model system for epigenetic research.
