Research

Tissue regeneration and plasticity

Cell identity is a dynamic property that can be acquired or lost as cells interact with their environment. This dynamic cell plasticity plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, facilitating regeneration, and driving disease progression. The Sun lab is dedicated to unraveling the intricate mechanisms underlying the shaping of cell identity and how these processes contribute to the adaptation or promotion of physiological and pathological processes. Through our research efforts, we seek to gain deeper insights into the fundamental principles governing cell identity dynamics, with the ultimate goal of developing innovative strategies for therapeutic intervention in various disease states.
