• 染色質構造及功能

• 染色質動態與表觀遺傳學的代謝機制研究

• 染色質調節機制對發育及疾病的影響

本實驗室的研究集中在染色質的構造及其對細胞體分子功能機制的影響。染色質中核小體(nucleosomes)的分布密度及位置是基因組開始啟動複製的關鍵原因之一，而這也是細胞分裂的重要過程，將影響細胞的命運。同時，染色質的構造亦影響基因的活化及抑制，而這樣的過程會影響細胞週期以及DNA損傷修復。

在調節染色質的角色中，有一群重要的分子，稱做組蛋白轉譯前修飾因子（histone post-translational modifications, PTMs）。這些PTMs訊息間的溝通協調會讓染色質維持在一個平衡狀態，以利細胞維持正常生理功能。DNA模版在複製起始過程中，這些修飾因子有可能透過標記的「寫入」、「讀取」或是「擦除」而引發複製錯誤，這樣的錯誤造成發育上的疾病或腫瘤就一點都不意外了！甚至在一些癌症的研究中也曾指出，這些組蛋白的修飾因子也在癌細胞的發展進程中改變，因此研究修飾因子的調控及如何決定細胞命運，是我們非常感興趣的主題！
