Delighted to share that I have been awarded the NICHD K99 to continue my research on the role of H4ac during mammalian embryogenesis and maternal aging. A huge thank you to my postdoc mentor @ambystoma22.bsky.social and all the letter writers for their support.

New paper on the role of H3K4me3 at enhancers! We (led by Haoming Yu) used dCas9 epigenome editing to add H3K4me3 to intergenic enhancers. This was (1) sufficient to turn up transcription at open, active regions and (2) has no effect on target gene transcription. genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl...
