Christine Keenan laboratory

Research Overview

Research in the Keenan laboratory aims to understand how epigenetic mechanisms cause or contribute to diseases of the immune system. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop new therapeutic strategies to restore healthy immunity.

We apply a wide-range of cutting-edge experimental approaches: -

  • Flow Cytometry including high-dimensional spectral flow cytometry
  • Next-Generation Sequencing (e.g. RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, CUT&Tag, Chromosome Conformation Capture)
  • CRISPR/Cas9
  • Immunological assays
  • Immunofluorescence microscopy
