Research Interests
We are interested in understanding a key question in biology: how development and environmental responses are coordinated across diverse cell types in multicellular organisms? We use of interdisciplinary approaches, including quantitative epi/genomic profiling, modelling and targeted genome engineering, to dissect and design new regulatory modules with the aim of creating novel phenotypes. We are particularly interested in two biological processes:
- how communication between cells coordinate development.
- how complex organisms integrate, store, and retrieve environmental information.
Scientific Inspiration
Ledyard Stebbins, whom I meet as an undergraduate student and sparked my interest in natural variation and evolution.
