Molecular Biology Program
The Iestyn Whitehouse Lab
Research
The Whitehouse lab is broadly interested in understanding how chromatin functions in the regulation of cellular processes such as DNA replication, gene transcription and epigenetics. We focus on understanding basic mechanisms and use a combination of biochemical, molecular biological and genomics approaches. We like to develop new technology and are particularly interested in the development and application of single molecule technologies such as Nanopore sequencing and single molecule indexing strategies.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
Iestyn Whitehouse discloses the following relationships and financial interests:
