### **Research Overview**

We aim to develop and adapt cutting edge technologies in genome editing and regulation to promote cellular reprogramming and human health research. To achieve this, we are employing techniques including: transposition, site-specific recombination, nuclease-mediated gene editing, and inducible transgene expression.
