Dr. Berger’s lab has become increasingly focused on the study of mammalian biology and human diseases, including cancer and other diseases associated with aging, as well as epigenetic control of learning, memory and behavior. The lab has been published in high impact journals, such as Cell, Nature, Science, and Genes & Development. Her work on epigenetics of behavior has been covered in The New York Times and The New Yorker.
