Regan Zhang - PhD Candidate
The role of euchromatic histone methyltransferase 2 (G9a) in mesenchymal development.
Ehmt2 (euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2), aka.
G9a, has been characterised as an epigenetic regulator, and implicated in many cell fate processes.
Ehmt2 is potentially an important regulator in the development of mesenchymal tissues.
Employing various conditional knockout models in vivo, Regan investigates the importance of this gene in skeletal muscle development, regeneration, craniofacial development, and adipose tissue development.
