We develop quantitative computational and experimental approaches to identify and characterize transcriptional regulatory regions in the human genome. We combine machine learning techniques and high-throughput assays. Focusing on transcription factors (TFs) that control cell proliferation and differentiation, our goals are to understand: (1) how these regulatory proteins interact with each other to select their unique targets across the genome, and (2) how this regulation is disrupted in diseased cells due to non-coding mutations and TF overexpression.
