Jin He

Jin He specializes in cutting-edge techniques for exploring the intricate world of gene regulation and epigenetic mechanisms. As an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Michigan State University, Dr. He is at the forefront of research aimed at unraveling the complexities of how genes are regulated during both normal development and in pathological conditions like cancer. Dr. He's laboratory is dedicated to investigating the fundamental aspects of epigenetic regulation and gene expression. His team focuses on the dynamic changes in epigenetic modifications at gene regulatory elements, particularly during the critical processes of lineage specification and cell fate determination. By examining these processes, Dr. He aims to shed light on how cells transition from one state to another, a key aspect of understanding development and disease progression. A significant portion of Dr. He's research is devoted to understanding the functional role of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer stem cells and tumorigenesis. His work seeks to uncover how these mechanisms contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer, with the ultimate goal of identifying potential therapeutic targets. Through his research, Dr. He hopes to contribute to the development of novel strategies for cancer treatment, leveraging the power of epigenetics to improve patient outcomes. Dr. He's contributions to the field of biochemistry and molecular biology are marked by his commitment to advancing our understanding of gene regulation and its implications for human health. His work not only enhances our knowledge of fundamental biological processes but also holds promise for translating these insights into practical applications in medicine.
