    My research interest is focused on epigenetic regulation function in malignant hematopoiesis and leukemia development. TET2, a ten eleven translocation methylcytosine dioxygenase, is one of the most commonly mutated/deleted genes in adult myeloid malignancies, which is also involved in RNA modification. Oncogenic/tumor suppressive RNAs is to take advantage of existing knowledge on myeloid malignancies with specific recurrent chromosomal aberrations. My current plan is to explore TET2 mediated specific modifications on the RNAs of interest and determine their impact on RNA functions such as stability and localization in myeloid malignancies.
