ABOUT US

Wellcome to our web site!
Our research field is structural biology of biomolecular complex that regulate epigenetics, DNA methylation and histone modifications. We are now focusing to reveal the underlying mechanism of DNA methylation maintenance. If you are intersted in our research, please contact ourl laboratory.
