Congratulations to our PhD graduate @ChengClooney in his publication on cis-regulatory changes during hepatocellular carcinoma!
Thank you to our collaborators @KevinYipLab & Prof. Alfred Cheng.

Happy to share with you my recent work on deciphering the epigenomic dysregulation of cis-regulatory elements and retrotransposons in hepatocellular carcinoma 🎉

Wonderful experience working with @KevinYipLab and Prof. Alfred CHENG. Congrats to us all!

So happy to share my PhD work! We show how the histone methyltransferase SETDB1 is involved in cell-type specific regulation of chromatin landscape by catalyzing H3K9me3, which antagonizes CTCF binding, and define the subsequent transcriptomic impact. @NatureComms @CFER_HKUST

Join us to celebrate our first paper in 2024! Congratulations to our PhD student Phoebe @lftamphoebe for all her hard work and the team at @cfer_hkust. (https://t.co/kY0cU8TTWH)

@BrancoLab Appreciate the shout out! Indeed, our findings echo your prior results of LTR8B functioning as an enhancer for PSG5. Looking forward to seeing where this field takes us!

Our paper is finally out in @NatureCellBio!
We profiled the maternal-fetal interface following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Congratulations to our PhD students @lingao02, @TamSabrina, @MellowMetal and collaborators on this work!

Thats a wrap for the @csi_singapore, @ntusbs and EpiHK Joint Virtual Symposium!
Thank you to everyone who participated and tuned in to the fascinating discussions and talks! 👋

[Leung lab @leunglab_ust]

Great first day to the joint virtual symposium!
Insightful expert and trainee talks on 3D chromatin organisation, TE's, epigenetic regulation, multi-omics and more!

Co-organised by @melissafullwood, @csi_singapore, @ntusbs and EpiHK. Join us for Day 2! https://t.co/kO9h0iiZhK
