Dr. Nelson's research focuses on epigenetic changes in prostate cancer. Epigenetics deals with changes that affect the activity of a gene without changing the DNA sequence of the gene.  The changes include DNA methylation and histone acetylation.  Dr. Nelson also investigates how these changes can be targeted by cancer drugs.
