My research focuses on the epigenetic basis of cancer, stem cells and human development, especially about how cellular signaling regulates cell growth and differentiation, how the genetic material is elegantly organized in human cells, how gene activities are controlled, and how these events become abnormal in cancer and other diseases. We have been using cutting-edge molecular biology techniques and characterizing genetically modified mouse models to investigate these important issues. In addition, we have been also interested in generating different stem cells by somatic cell reprogramming. The research has provided, and will continue to yield, new insights into how to develop novel means for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of related human diseases.
