Research Interest
Generation of patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) Differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into cell types relevant to a specific disease to establish an in vitro model of the disease Using hPSCs as a translational in vitro model to study the pathophysiology of diabetes. Studying human pancreatic islet development using hPSCs Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular reprogramming and pluripotency
