Our group investigates mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance regulation. Epigenetic mechanisms are transmitted through secondary modifications of chromosomes. DNA-Methylation and a set of complex histone modifications play a central role as heritable chromosomal marks which affect the regulation of many biological processes in a sustainable manner.

Epigenetics provides new concepts for the understanding of genetic regulation and is of great importance for all biological systems and biomedical research.
