Research Directions
Spatial multi-omics
Epigenomic regulation plays a crucial role in genome architecture, transcription, and metabolism, closely intertwining with tissue organization. The Lu Laboratory develops novel spatial multi-omics tools to decode epigenomic regulation at both the cellular and tissue levels, aiming to drive innovations in early diagnosis, intervention strategies, and personalized medicine.
Our research focuses on three key areas:
Advancing spatiotemporal single-cell multi-omics tools to capture dynamic molecular processes with high precision.
Developing imaging-based CRISPR screens to identify key regulators of molecular organization.
Applying spatial multi-omics to uncover disease mechanisms in embryonic development, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
Our recent discoveries have been published in leading journals such asCell, and PNAS.
