Biography
Dr. Bao-Wei Jiao, Principal Investigator, joined Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences since July of 2013. His research team is mainly interested in regulating mammary gland stem cells by imprinted genes and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). The mechanisms and evolutionary significance of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in development and evolution are his research focus.
Research Interest
The impact of imprinted genes on breast development, The working models of lncRNA in breast development, The roles of XCI in mammary gland development.
