The regulation of eukaryotic (human) transcription from chromatin template with special emphasis on diseases is the broad area of research of the Transcription and Disease laboratory. The research topics include- regulation of chromatin-mediated transcription by histone chaperones; role of nonhistone chromatin-proteins in the regulation of chromatin- structure/function and the regulation of p53 function by these nonhistone proteins and the small molecule modulators of histone modifying enzymes (histone acetyltransferases, deacetylases and methyltransferases).
