My research focuses on mapping the regulatory landscape of specific cell populations isolated from post-mortem brain tissue to uncover genomic variation underlying neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. I apply cutting-edge epigenomic tools — including CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, long-read sequencing, and advanced cell-sorting approaches — to investigate how epigenetic changes contribute to disease and to identify mechanistic insights and molecular biomarkers that can guide new treatments and diagnostic tools.
