I am excited to uncover the molecular mechanisms of cell fate control with the goal of applying these insights to therapy. Recent work has demonstrated the potential of reprogramming, but I believe we must understand the molecular mechanisms and dynamics of cell fate transitions if we will ever apply this approach to creating safe, functional cells in medicine. I would like to apply synthetic biology tools to ask questions that integrate multiple layers of regulation, including noncoding RNA, epigenetics, and transcription factor networks.
