About

The Jain Lab’s overarching goal is to combine classical biochemistry with genomic and proteomic approaches to decipher fundamental principles of chromatin engagement by epigenetic machinery and determine how they contribute to human biology and disease. In particular, we study how the Histone Code is laid down and how chromatin is accessed in vitro and in vivo, enabling us to understand how the regulation of these processes affects vital cellular mechanisms such as transcription, splicing, and DNA damage response. Our work aims to broaden the fundamental understanding of epigenetic regulation in human health and lead to new therapeutic approaches in cancer.
