Research Interest
Our group is interested in the function(s) of microRNAs in pluripotent stem cells, as well as the function(s) of retrotransposons in mammalian development. First, we explore the importance of the p53-microRNA axis in somatic reprogramming, or the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Second, we study the roles of microRNAs in modulating the totipotent-like cell fate potential in pluripotent stem cells, a novel potency state of pluripotent stem cells we identified recently (Science, 2017). Finally, we investigate the functional roles of retrotransposons during mammalian pre-implantation and post-implantation development.
