Hey everyone! I\u2019m Maulana Ariefai, a ChromRare PhD student at the University of
Trento, working in Prof. Alessio Zippo\u2019s Chromatin Biology & Epigenetics group.
Our team is passionate about understanding how epigenetic changes affect stem
cells \u2014 both in normal and disease conditions. In my project, I focus on CHD7, a
fascinating protein whose mutations are linked to CHARGE syndrome, a rare
developmental disorder.
We believe that the way CHD7 forms tiny liquid-like \u201ccondensates\u201d inside the nucleus
is crucial for keeping cells healthy. When this process goes wrong, it might trigger
disease. To study this, I use super-resolution microscopy (dSTORM) \u2014 which lets us
see structures as small as 10 nanometres \u2014 and single-particle tracking to follow
CHD7\u2019s movements in living cells.
It\u2019s challenging work, but incredibly exciting! Every image and dataset brings me a bit
closer to understanding how our genome\u2019s organization impacts life and disease. My
hope is that one day, our findings will inspire new therapeutic strategies for CHARGE
syndrome patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
