  Studied chromatin structure of CAG trinucleotide repeats implicated in many human genetic diseases including Huntington's disease. Discovered non-canonical chromatin structure of long CAG trinucleotide repeats in the chromosome. Identified a specific CAG repeat binding protein in yeast and found its role in the chromatin organization
