Current research projects:
- Function of mTOR signalling in the cell fate determination.
- Explore signalling crosstalk in the regulation of TGF-beta signals and its impact on human embryonic development
- Unfold the role/mechanisms of NLRP7 in the regulation of imprinting during early human development.
- Improving the differentiation of hESCs to hepatocytes for disease modelling.
