dr. ren is interested in understanding the dynamic changes and regulatory mechanisms of high-order chromatin structure, and how these contribute to processes like cellular development, differentiation, and cell fate decision. he also wants to understand how the interplay between transcription factors and various chromatin modifying enzymes regulates the dynamic epigenomic landscapes in immune cells. dr. ren is especially interested in promoting the applications of these cutting-edge technologies in animal (livestock) breeding and genetics.
