Research Interests

My research focuses on cell and gene therapy, with particular emphasis on stem cell biology and AAV-mediated therapies. I investigate key transcription factors involved in stem cell regulation and have established human pluripotent stem cell-derived differentiation systems to study related diseases. I also develop stem cell and animal models of human diseases to facilitate therapeutic development, with a particular interest in cell- and gene-based strategies for reproductive disorders.
