I am a neuroscientist with expertise in neuroepigenetics, particularly in how DNA methylation regulates the development, migration, and functional integration of cortical interneurons. My research combines molecular, cellular, and systems-level approaches—including multi-omics, in vivo models, and behavioral analyses—to understand how epigenetic mechanisms safeguard neuronal subtype identity and mediate environmental influences during brain development. I am especially interested in the role of DNMT1 and long non-coding RNAs in integrating extrinsic cues like ephrins, hormones, and neurotransmitters. My work also explores sex-specific epigenetic regulation and its relevance for neuropsychiatric disorders.
