The main focus of the laboratory is studying mechanism of heterochromatin formation. We combine functional studies on the systemic level with genetic, biochemical and structural approaches, to work towards a mechanistic understanding of heterochromatin formation.</font></font>

For example how the conserved Heterochromatin Protein 1 interacts with nucleosomes to facilitate heterochromatin spreading and compaction. We have already assembled multiple complexes involved in heterochromatin formation and collected preliminary cryo-EM data. Candidate will have an access to existing samples produced by group members and would continue on some of the started projects.</font></font>
