Research Interests
  • Molecular circuitry of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) reprogramming
  • Molecular mechanisms for Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic disease manifested in defects of mesenchymal lineages and connective tissues
  • Regulatory mechanisms by which human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) differentiate into Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
  • Post-transcriptional regulations in hESC/iPSC self-renewal and differentiation
