In addition, we would like to identify biomarkers of drug sensitivity and novel therapeutic targets in diseases such as cancers, cystic fibrosis, COPD, etc.
We are interested in deciphering regulatory mechanisms involved in different biological processes such as human embryogenesis and diseases such as cancer and COVID-19 using multi-omics analysis.
