Epigenetics and Transcription
The Wen Laboratory studies epigenetic regulation of gene expression and chromatin dynamics. We are interested in understanding how dysregulation of the homeostasis of chromatin states leads to the development of human cancers, especially pediatric cancers, in an effort to develop small molecules for epigenetic therapies.

Postdoctoral fellow position available
A postdoctoral fellow position is available immediately in the Wen Lab, which is focused on the study of epigenetic regulation of chromatin and transcription in cancer development. The long-term goal of the lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms by which histone modifications regulate chromatin and transcription, and how dysregulation of histone modification homeostasis leads to human cancers.
