Zhao Zhang, PhD
Beneath an illusion of stability, our genomes are in a state of constant revision, orchestrated by mobile elements that rewrite the code of life. Our lab seeks to decipher this genomic symphony by studying the key conductors-transposons and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA)-and their powerful roles in shaping organisms and driving cancer.
