Research

Our group has long been dedicated to interdisciplinary investigations at the interface of cellular signaling and organoid technology. By integrating approaches from cell biology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and genetics, and combining organoid systems with animal models and multi-omics analyses, we conduct systematic research centered on the following core areas: 

Systematically investigate the regulatory mechanisms governing adult stem cell self-renewal and lineage-specific differentiation, and identify key molecular targets that mediate stem cell-driven tissue homeostasis and injury repair. 
Develop and optimize novel culture systems for multiple organoid types, including intestinal, gastric, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, and pancreatic organoids, to enhance long-term stability and functional integrity.
