Our genetic makeup is the DNA we inherited from our parents, and our epigenetic makeup is the collection of temporary chemical modifications of this DNA that shape our individual physical features and behaviors. I am interested in understanding the essential molecular mechanisms that govern the formation of our epigenetics.
