Research
The main interest of our research group is the understanding of molecular relationships between nutrition, metabolism and the epigenome. We aim to decipher how these contribute to the development of chronic metabolic diseases and ageing. In our laboratory, we use a translational approach from in vitro systems and mice to humans to elucidate these molecular mechanisms. In particular, we combine next-generation sequencing and single-cell methodologies with molecular biology and genetics to analyze different stem cell systems, model systems of altered nutrition or metabolism and human patient samples.
