The role of telomeres in meiosis
Unraveling genetic stability and fertility
Investigating how telomeres influence chromosome behavior during meiosis, shaping genetic stability, fertility, and the prevention of age-related diseases.
AI-driven mutation prediction
Shaping the future of reproductive health
Using cutting-edge artificial intelligence to predict mutations that impact gametogenesis, offering new insights into fertility treatments and genetic disorders.
. . . Decoding the dance of Chromosomes . . .
In our lab, we study the molecular basis of chromosome dynamics during gametogenesis through a combination of computational tools and experimental benchwork. We develop methods to analyze chromosome movement, particularly in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and conduct hands-on experiments to validate our findings. We also created the web application ChroMo, which helps us gain deeper insights into meiotic prophase in yeast, allowing us to identify previously undetectable phenotypes. Our research extends to both computational and experimental approaches to investigate other key stages of gametogenesis, such as telomere bouquet formation, spindle assembly, and detecting aneuploidies
