Bio/Research

Stem cells are characterized by their ability to self-renew and to produce numerous differentiated daughter cells. These two special properties enable stem cells to play a central role in generating and maintaining most tissues in higher organisms. We study molecular mechanisms underlying the self-renewing division of stem cells.  Currently, we focus on small RNA-mediated epigenetic programming and translational regulation that are required for the self-renewal of germline and embryonic stem cells.  Meanwhile, we are exploring the clinical implications of our findings.
