The Chandler lab is interested in the molecular mechanisms by which chromatin remodeling and steroid hormone signaling regulates chromatin biology, epigenetics, and transcription in the uterine endometrium, and how disruption of these mechanisms contributes to malignancies, such as endometrial cancer and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer, and benign diseases, such as adenomyosis and endometriosis. Dr. Chandler’s lab uses animal models of disease, cell-based approaches and functional genomics. For more information please visit chandlerlab.org.
