Rogerio Castilho, DDS, MS, PhD
Our laboratory focus on the understanding of the “histone code” in the context of tissue injury, chronic inflammatory diseases, and cancer biology. We explore the role of histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling in the control of epithelial functions, including healing, maintenance of epithelial homeostasis and stem cell function. We also explore the epigenetic-driven mechanisms involved in tumor resistance to chemotherapy and ionizing radiation and focus on the use of “epi-drugs” to counteract cancer-driven histone modifications.
