We are interested in understanding how epigenetic marks are placed, read and interpreted on chromatin. Chromatin becomes decorated with post-translational modifications to control the myriad of DNA-related processes in the cell. We create modified chromatin using chemical biology and biochemical methods. We then use our defined modified chromatin to study individual nucleosome-chromatin protein complexes using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), Biochemical, Biophysical and Cell Biology approaches to investigate histone marks and DNA methylation.
If you are interested in joining our group please contact Marcus with a CV to discuss potential opportunities.
A number of fully funded PhD studentships are available for both UK/EU and worldwide students. Please get in touch if you are interested.
