Our lab investigates how the 3D organization of the genome regulates gene expression and coordinates developmental patterning. We combine quantitative live-imaging tools with functional genomic methods to understand how specific enhancers and promoters find each other within the nucleus and how the folding of the genome orchestrates precise spatiotemporal patterns of gene activity during development.

We are located at the Católica Biomedical Research Centre hosted at the Gulbenkian Science Institute in Lisbon, Portugal.

We are always looking for curious and motivated Masters and PhD students to join the lab. If you’re interested, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
