Or P. Gozani · Stanford, California
Research Focus
Dr. Or P. Gozani's lab at Stanford University studies how protein methylation affects cell biology and contributes to diseases. They focus on modifications that happen on proteins, especially those related to chromatin and gene expression. This research aims to uncover the roles of specific enzymes involved in these processes, which may lead to new treatments for various health issues.
