    Collapse overview
    The ultimate research goal of my lab is to obtain a mechanistic and quantitative understanding of gene regulation in individual cells under normal conditions and in disease. Toward this aim, we are developing and applying single-cell and single-molecule genomics technologies that facilitate genome-wide measurements in primary tissues and cells.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
