Epigenetic information—such as DNA methylation and histone modifications—adds a crucial regulatory layer that shapes gene expression and chromosome behavior, ultimately determining the identity of cells and organisms. Remarkably, these epigenomic states can change dynamically in response to both internal and external cues.

Using plant systems as our primary model, we aim to elucidate how epigenomic landscapes are formed, maintained across cell divisions and generations, and remodeled when the environment changes. Our work is grounded in genome‑wide “epigenomics” approaches that capture these layers of information in one sweep, coupling cutting‑edge wet‑lab experiments with powerful computational analyses. By tracking epigenome dynamics under fluctuating conditions, we seek to understand how living organisms leverage epigenetic regulation to adapt and thrive. If you are eager to transform your own ideas into discovery and enjoy the thrill of solving biological puzzles, we invite you to join us.
