RESEARCH INTERESTS

The central question for embryonic stem cells is how they maintain the capabilities of pluripotency and self-renewal in a controlled manner. Our laboratory aims at further understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the unique features of stem cells. We are interested in better understanding the functions of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers, as well as identifying novel factors involved in chromatin remodeling, which plays pivotal roles in controlling the spatiotemporal differentiation of stem cells. Our group explores some of the most advanced technologies in the field of stem cell research, e.g. CRISPR and ChIP-seq. We have also established several genetically engineered mouse models to study the functions of related transcription factors in vivo.
