    Research interests

    My research focus aims to understand how gene-regulatory elements control gene expression in mammals, as it relates to the genetic basis of development, evolution and disease. To study the function of enhancers, my approach includes three key components.


    First, I will identify putative enhancers from comprehensive genomic datasets and GWAS data. Secondly, the in vivo function of these enhancer candidates will be characterized using a combination of mouse genetics and functional genomics techniques. In the final phase, by integrating this functional information, I will use enhancers as tools to manipulate phenotype, such as altering morphology and developing new therapeutic approaches.
