Dr. Hota’s expertise is in chromatin structure and protein that modify chromatin and how they affect the activity of genes. His current goals are to delineate mechanism of how chromatin remodeling complexes determine cell fate during cell differentiation and organ development. His ultimate aim is to understand how mutations in these complexes lead to congenital heart defects and neurodevelopmental disorders.
