About me:
Yi Xuan joined the lab as a PhD student in October 2021, funded by the A*STAR NSS (PhD) Scholarship. She attained her B.Sc (Hons) degree at the National University of Singapore. Prior to joining the lab, Yi Xuan undertook her honors project at Wee Wei Tee’s lab, working on understanding factors governing early developmental plasticity and cell fate transitions. Outside of the lab, Yi Xuan enjoys a good game of netball, hiking, and just sitting around with a good cup of tea/coffee and fiction in hand.
Our lab is interested in the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of early development. We study how transposons have been co-opted to regulate essential processes in development, and how their misregulation may contribute to disease.
