Welcome to the Hoffman Lab's website! We are lucky to be part of a vibrant research community at BC Children's Hospital, working together to understand and find a cure for diabetes.

Our research centres around the dynamic relationship between Trithorax group-mediated histone methylation and gene expression, and the ways in which this relationship drives the development and function of the endocrine pancreas.
