Projects for Thesis Supervision:

1. Epigenetics: The laboratory now has projects related to biochemical and genetic characterization of the enzymes that catalyze arginine methylation.

2. DNA damage: The laboratory is currently studying projects that implicate protein methylation in the DNA damage response.

3. RNA binding proteins: The laboratory is currently studying proteins that implicate Sam68 in cancer metabolism and the role of the QKI RNA binding proteins in oligodendrocyte differentiation and CNS myelination.
