Research Interests
• Studying genes or non-coding DNA and enhancers and their functional significance in mammalian gene regulation and diseases using targeted knock-out, knock-in or transgenic mouse models via in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.
• Understanding the functional necessity of enhancers, noncoding sequences that activate gene expression using single-cell transcriptomics tools (DropSeq 10X Chromium Single cell and Chromium Single Cell ATAC technologies).
