Overview
Epigenetic regulations are fundamental for development and maintenance of stage in post-differentiation. Because numerous genes related to development were regulated in epigenetic manner, the disorganization of epigenetic regulation can lead to uncontrolled gene expression and malignant cellular transformation. Global epigenetic changes are a hall mark of all types of cancer. My lab is interested in how epigenetic regulation is involved in tumorigenesis in the brain.
