Our collaborative work Dr. Ben Alman's lab is published on Nature Cell Biology. In this study, Yu provides his expertise on single-cell RNA-seq analysis to study how erythromyeloid progenitors give rise to a population of osteoclasts that contribute to bone homeostasis and repair. Check it out this cool paper!
Nov-25, 2019
Apoorva Lyengar from UPGG program and the CMB student Oliver Chung joined the lab for winter rotation. Apoorva will be working on developing MPRA assays and Oliver will study gene expression of FAP in skeletal muscle regeneration. Welcome Apoorva and Oliver!

Yarui is awarded the 2019 V Scholar Grant on behalf of Duke Cancer Institute. The V Scholar Grant supports young tenure-track faculty early in their cancer research careers by funding promising basic research or translational projects. Thanks V foundation for supporting our research to study gene regulation in fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma, one of the most common and hard-to-treat pediatric cancer. Victory over cancer!!!

Our paper about the long-range chromatin interactions among 18,943 gene promoters, 70,329 enhancers, and 27,325 noncoding sequence variants associated with 2,117 human diseases and traits in 27 human cell and tissue types is published in Nature Genetics. Check it out!

Sandy Srinivasan from UPGG program started her rotation project in our lab. Sandy will be working on an exciting project to develop MPRA and Mosaic-seq to study the regulatory role of GWAS SNP on gene expression.
Aug-19, 2019
Our collaborated work with Dr. David Kirsch's lab is accepted by PNAS. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA-seq analysis to study the role of neutrophils in tumor resistance in response to radiation therapy. Check it out!
Aug-12, 2019
Our single-cell RNA-seq and single-nuclei ATAC-seq data about muscle regeneration are freshly off the server! Tons of exciting data!!!
Aug-8, 2019
We received the grant from Kahn Program and Translating Duke Health (TDH) to support our effort to establish innovative functional genomics tools to study the role and mechanism of non-coding genetic risk variants in human diseases.
Aug-5, 2019
Yarui gave an oral presentation at the 2019 Gordon Research Conference: Genome Architecture in Cell Fate and Disease. Thanks the organizers of the Gordon Research Conference for the opportunity to share our research!
July-30, 2019
Yu has received a two-year postdoc fellowship from Regeneration Next Initiative to support his study on gene regulation in muscle regeneration. Congratulations Yu and Thank you RNI!
July-12, 2019
Yarui has received the 2019 Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and AFAR Grants for Junior Faculty (Formerly called the AFAR Research Grants for Junior Faculty) for our project to study gene regulation in muscle stem cell aging. Thanks Glenn Foundation and AFAR for the support!
June-25, 2019
Our collaborated work with the Soderling lab is published in Neuron! Check it out!

May-13, 2019
Yarui is selected as one of the the Whitehead Scholars for the "exceptional potential for research and research training in the biomedical sciences" at Duke. Thanks Whitehead Charitable Foundation for supporting our research program!
Feb-26, 2019
After internal selection, Yarui is nominated by Duke Cancer Institute to represent Duke for the national competition of the V scholar pediatric cancer research award.
Dec-4, 2018
The Diao lab is now part of Duke Cancer Institute. We are going to employ cutting-edge functional genomics tools and single-cell approaches to study transcriptional regulation in rhabdomyosarcoma and glioblastoma.
Oct-30, 2018
Today we did the very first experiment in the Diao lab - we transformed the Tn5 expressing plasmid into E. coli. to express and purify the magic enzyme for our single-cell ATAC-seq assays!
Oct-2, 2018
After a 19-hour-behind-the-wheel-driving from Texas, Dr. Yu Xiang came to Duke to join our lab. Welcome, Yu!
Sep-30, 2018
Yarui join the Duke University Program in Cell and Molecular Biology (CMB)! Thanks to CMB committee!
Sep-04, 2018
Diao lab is open on the third floor of Nanaline Duke Building!
