Academic interests

The cellular macromolecules DNA, RNA and protein are subject to numerous modifications, including methylations and hydroxylations. Such modifications often have regulatory roles, such as the epigenetic modifications of DNA and chromatin proteins. My major research interest is to identify novel human enzymes involved in the introduction and removal of such modifications, and to address the biological significance of the respective modifications. Recently, I have been studying methyltransferases and hydroxylases involved in modifying tRNA and protein, and, also, demethylases responsible for removing deleterious methyl lesions from DNA. These studies typically involve both biochemical characterization of the modification enzymes, as well as analyses of the modifications in a cellular or organismal context.
