Professor Anne Ferguson-Smith's laboratory investigates the molecular events governing pre- and post-natal mammalian development, with a focus on epigenetic inheritance. The research encompasses a variety of themes, such as the developmental role of imprinted genes and the epigenetic mechanisms regulating parental-origin-specific expression in embryos and placentas. Additionally, the lab explores how epigenetic inheritance in non-imprinted regions can influence environmental epigenetic states. The focus of her work extends to the mechanisms of epigenetic control over genome function and development, with particular emphasis on targeting epigenetic states and their management, especially concerning retrotransposons.
