The IFE investigates how epigenetic processes regulate chromatin function and gene expression. We aim to unravel the impact of the environment on the epigenome and to discover novel pathways regulating DNA organisation in order to identify novel therapeutic targets.

Our mission is to understand how genes are packaged within the nucleus of a cell, how information can be stored by marking genomic regions with covalent modifications, and how alterations in DNA organization regulate gene expression. We utilize cutting-edge methods to predict, observe, and manipulate how these processes respond to environmental and developmental signals in individual cells.
From discovery to therapy - the future is epigenetic!
Research at the Institute of Functional Epigenetics aims at understanding the epigenetic principles underlying how cells and organisms integrate metabolic signals, establish cellular memory, and regulate plasticity to identify new epigenetic pathways and novel therapeutic targets. Tell me more…
