Research
In the Schlesinger lab, we study epigenetic reprogramming following fertilization. In particular, we are interested in the process leading to the formation of heterochromatin de novo and silencing of transposable elements and retroviruses. We use embryonic stem (ES) cells from mice and from farm animals to get a deeper understanding of the general characteristics of pluripotency in all mammalian cells.
