Thomas(tom) Sexton PhD

Dr. Thomas is the Team leader at IGBMC. His research is focused on understanding the relationship between the three-dimensional folding of the genome and its functional outputs such as gene transcription. Previous research from group members has shown that the genome is organized into distinctly folded modules, or “topological domains”, which closely mirror the patterns of epigenetic marks (e.g. histone modifications) on the underlying chromatin fiber.
