​GENOMICS, STEM CELL, CANCER RESEARCH
​

We develop and apply cutting-edge functional genomics and genome engineering tools
​to understand the transcriptional regulatory circuits in tissue regeneration and tumorigenesis.
Welcome to the Diao lab at Duke University
We are part of the Department of Cell Biology and the Regenerative Next Initiative at Duke. As a functional genomics lab, we are interested in the gene regulatory mechanism that control tissue regeneration, aging, and tumorigenesis. We use muscle stem cell, rhabdomyosarcoma, and glioblastoma as our model systems, and work at the intersection of genomics, cell biology, mouse genetics, and bioengineering, to employ integrative approaches for understanding the fundamental gene regulation mechanism in biology and diseases.
