Who we are:
Dr. Robert Kingston is professor and principal investigator of a dynamic research group currently consisting of 10 postdocs and 4 graduate students. The lab has been at MGH since 1985. We are a diligent group with chromatin *always* on our minds.

What we do:
This lab is interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms of how eukaryotic enzymes can modify chromatin. One focused approach is to isolate chromatin-modifying proteins and to test such complexes in functional assays, with the thesis that assay outcomes will inform the in vivo function of these protien machines. Another important goal is to understand how long-range chromatin interactions are established in the cell nucleus, and this effort is leading to new strategies towards defining such interactions in vivo.
