The Laboratory of Neuroepigenetics, led by Prof. Johannes Graff, focuses on understanding how long-term memories are stored in the brain, overcoming traumatic memories, and addressing memory loss in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Their research delves into the field of neuroepigenetics, exploring how epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression to govern learning and memory processes. By investigating memory consolidation, reconsolidation, and Alzheimer's disease, the lab aims to uncover the molecular underpinnings of memory formation and loss. Through a combination of genetic, environmental, and pharmacological approaches, they seek to unravel the complexities of memory mechanisms and potentially develop novel interventions to counteract memory loss and traumatic memories.
