研究领域

具有自我更新能力和分化潜能的干细胞是人类胚胎发育过程中以及成年个体生命活动中的关键类型的细胞，对各种干细胞进行深入研究是理解人类发育、生长机制的关键，也是将干细胞应用于临床再生医学、治疗人类疾病的前提。本实验室主要围绕人类早期胚胎发育研究多能干细胞的自我更新和多能性调控的分子机理，特别是表观遗传调控机理，以及相关的生殖系细胞发育过程中的表观遗传学重编程机理。利用我们发展的单细胞功能基因组学高通量测序技术体系（单细胞转录组测序技术、单细胞 DNA甲基化组测序技术、单细胞染色质状态组测序技术、单细胞多组学平行测序技术等），以及基因编辑技术、哺乳动物胚胎显微操作技术、器官小体（organoid）培养技术、以及人类胚胎干细胞体外定向分化等技术在单细胞和单碱基的极限分辨率下深入研究人类生殖系细胞发育、以及多能性干细胞分化过程中基因表达网络的表观遗传学调控机理。并在此基础上深入探索生殖细胞发育异常相关的不孕不育等疾病的分子机理和潜在的治疗策略。
