Capell Lab

Epigenetics at the Nexus of Environment, Cellular Memory, and Epithelial Disease

The Capell Lab studies how epigenetic regulation shapes epithelial tissue responses to the environment. We investigate how environmental exposures, metabolism, and sex chromosome biology influence chromatin states that govern immunity, tissue repair, and cancer development. Our goal is to translate these discoveries into new targeted therapies for epithelial diseases.
