Research Focus: Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the human body and disruption in its homeostasis causes severe complications. The long-term research interest of my lab is to understand the molecular basis of skeletal muscle loss in chronic diseases and to identify new drug targets to counteract muscle wasting.
The current focus of our lab is to decipher the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate transcriptional programs of skeletal muscle differentiation and how its de-regulation is involved in skeletal muscle pathogenesis. Specific areas of interest include skeletal muscle regeneration, epigenetic basis of skeletal muscle wasting in Cancer Cachexia, Diabetes Mellitus and differentiation inhibition in Rhabdomyosarcoma, a childhood cancer affecting skeletal muscle.
