PhD student in Yuri Schwartz lab.
I am Andrés Garrido, and I have been a member of Yuri Swartz’s lab since 2020. My research focuses on epigenetics, with a particular interest in how chromatin regulators control gene expression and maintain transcriptional states.
In my work, I investigate how Trithorax group and Polycomb group proteins control transcriptional states and contribute to the maintenance of cellular identity. To address these questions, I combine molecular and genetic approaches using both 饾構饾槼饾槹饾槾饾槹饾槺饾槱饾槳饾槶饾槩 cell culture systems and living 饾構饾槼饾槹饾槾饾槹饾槺饾槱饾槳饾槶饾槩 饾槷饾槮饾槶饾槩饾槸饾槹饾槰饾槩饾槾饾樀饾槮饾槼.
I am deeply fascinated by the mechanisms that govern epigenetic regulation and how they shape gene expression programs during development. Exploring these processes continues to inspire my work and motivates my research in the field.
