Research Interest
Our research focuses on studying the molecular mechanism of TGF-β signaling in self-renewal and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. In particular, we are investigating how TGF-β signaling regulates stem cell differentiation epigenetically through Smad2/3-TRIM33 complexes. We are also interested in studying the crosstalk between TGF-β signaling and other signaling pathways in development and tumorigenesis.
