Epigenetics‚ Nuclear receptors and Stem cell

Dr. Wong’s laboratory has long been interested in epigenetic regulation and transcriptional regulation by nuclear hormone receptors (NRs). His group has madecontribution to the identification and characterization of the corepressor complexes of nuclear hormone receptors, histone demethylases and identification and characterization of histone code effectors. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers. His current research focuses on epigenetic regulation including DNA methylation, histone and non-histone protein modifications.
