The Payton lab focuses on the role of aberrant epigenomic patterns in cancer-specific gene dysregulation. We take an integrative approach to understanding the complex interplay of genomic and epigenomic mutations and their impact on gene regulation, employing translational, bioinformatic, and basic biological approaches to understand the progression of hematopoietic cells from healthy to malignant.
