Studies melanoma development through developmental biology and epigenetic regulation, focusing on histone modifications in cancer.

Melanoma BiologyEpigeneticsHistone Modifications

Investigation of melanoma development and progression through the lens of developmental biology and cellular differentiation.

Study of epigenetic mechanisms that control gene expression in melanoma, including DNA methylation and chromatin modifications.

Analysis of histone modifications and their role in melanoma development, progression, and therapeutic resistance.

Identification of epigenetic targets for melanoma therapy, including development of combination treatment strategies.
