The Capell Lab studies how the epigenome encodes epithelial cell identity and tissue adaptation. We investigate how environmental exposures and intrinsic cellular programs reshape chromatin landscapes to regulate differentiation, regeneration, immunity, aging, and cancer. By combining genomics, epigenetics, and translational biology, our goal is to discover new therapeutic strategies for epithelial diseases.
