Research Projects

We are interested in understanding how and why genome-wide epigenetic states are universally changed during the course of carcinogenesis and cancer development. We try to understand cancer biology comprehensively and eventually we hope to discover something truly useful for patients. To achieve this goal, we believe it is important to understand pathophysiological significance and molecular mechanisms of the epigenomic changes in cancer.
