Regeneration Genomics
We develop and deploy cutting-edge functional genomics tools to understand the fundamental gene regulation mechanism controlling tissue regeneration in healthy and diseases.
Welcome to the Diao lab!
As a hard-core functional genomics lab, we have been developing innovative genomic mapping and engineering tools to understand how changes of chromatin structure and function impact spatial-temporal gene expression in development and diseases. As a group of cell biologists, we are excited to apply these cutting-edge genomics technologies, combined with cellular and animal models, to delineate the gene regulation mechanisms controlling skeletal muscle regeneration in injury and disease conditions, including ageing and cancer. Our long-term goal is to develop effective regenerative therapeutics by further our understanding on gene regulatory mechanism underlying tissue repair and damage.
