Research focuses on molecular genetics. He developed techniques for recombinant DNA identification and for mapping binding sites for chromosomal proteins. His work on histone proteins, the chromosomal building blocks, has contributed to current models of gene regulation and chromosome structure. At present, he is studying the roles of histone charge altering modifications in gene control, DNA replication and in establishing distant structures within chromosomes.
