The primary goal of my research programme is to elucidate how the epigenome coordinates experience-dependent gene expression underlying associative learning and memory using paradigms relevant for understanding fear-related anxiety disorders. My research on DNA modifications and newly emerging findings in the realm of RNA biology is changing the way we think about gene-environment interactions, the broader impact of which will most certainly continue to be felt for years to come.

我的研究计划的主要目标是阐明表观基因组如何协调经验依赖基因表达的联想学习和记忆使用范例相关的理解恐惧相关的焦虑障碍。我对DNA修饰的研究和RNA生物学领域的新发现正在改变我们对基因-环境相互作用的看法，其更广泛的影响肯定会在未来几年继续感受到。
