Celebration of the first Chen lab paper “in principle” acceptance! Cheers!

Lab gathered for holiday festivities.
We are excited to receive the Trustee Award ($200k over two years) from Cincinnati Children’s Research Foundation for studying retrotransposon function in mammalian early development.
ZY presented “Systematic perturbation of thousands of retroviral LTRs” at the CCHMC Regulatory Genomics forum.
Welcome Dr. Jian Yang to our lab!
Welcome Lauryn Cook to our lab!! The Chen lab is growing!
ZY gave a talk titled “Decoding epigenetic regulation in early development” at the Division of Developmental Biology annual retreat.

We successfully made the K99-to-R00 transition! The 3-year R00 award will support research to systemically dissect the mechanisms and functions of PcG proteins in mouse early development using the cutting-edge low-input chromatin profiling and rapid protein degradation techniques.

Chen Lab was officially launched at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center!
