My research focuses on deciphering the structure-function relationship of chromatin. My group develops methods to create in vivo nucleotide-resolved maps of transcription factor occupancy and function within the regulatory genome of primary cells, tissue types and disease states.

Globally, a large fraction of the disease burden is attributed to environmental contaminants, particularly enteric pathogens, which are transmitted via multiple pathways, including water, food, soil, and fomites. Further, microbial contaminants are garnering more public health attention at the global scale due to the emergence antimicrobial resistance. Prioritization of strategies to interrupt the transmission of […]
Dr. Matute uses evolutionary principles to understand the biology of emerging fungal pathogens. These pathogens cause disease in over one billion people each year, and their impact is expanding as antifungal resistance becomes increasingly widespread. The Matute lab is currently focused on understanding the evolution of virulence in pathogens of the genus Histoplasma using computational […]

The nucleus is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells. While most research has focused on the genomic information contained within the nucleus, recent findings highlight the importance of its mechanical properties and responses to applied forces in determining cellular functions and processes. Using a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research approach that combines the development of novel […]
