Epigenetics at the intersection of cancer, immunity, and metabolism

The Capell Lab seeks to answer fundamental questions regarding how the epigenome impacts cellular homeostasis (i.e. metabolism, immunity), and in turn, how this contributes to cancer, inflammatory disease, and aging of epithelial surface tissues like the skin.

By combining innovative in vivo models and human patient samples with the most cutting-edge epigenetic approaches, we aim to identify therapeutic vulnerabilities and novel targets to treat disease.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our research program and its members.
