My long-term research goal is to provide mechanistic insight into how m6A-modified RNA patterns are established in cancer and how this epitranscriptomic m6A landscape on chromatin drives distinct oncogenic gene expression programs, a key step towards understanding the roles of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic alterations in cancer development.
