Epigenetics and Nuclear Reprogramming
Faculty
Kenneth Eilertsen, PhD
Research Focus
The goal of this laboratory is to develop and validate novel laboratory models of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) that give researchers a look at a patient in a Petri dish.
About this Lab
The Epigenetics & Nuclear Reprogramming laboratory investigates 1) the epigenetic basis of nutritional programming that may occur in utero and contribute to later in life diseases such as obesity, hypertension and type 2 diabetes; 2) methods that reprogram the epigenome in ways that restore developmental and differentiation potential; and 3) epigenetic basis of liposarcoma differentiation.
