Research summary
AI-generated

Chan-Wang Jerry Lio studies how chemical modifications to DNA (like methylation) and cellular metabolism shape the behavior of immune cells, including T cells and macrophages, and how disruptions in these processes contribute to diseases like leukemia and cancer. Much of the work focuses on enzymes called TET proteins that erase DNA methylation marks, and how nutrients and metabolic pathways influence immune cell differentiation and function. This research could interest students wanting to work at the intersection of epigenetics, metabolism, and immunology, with applications to cancer immunotherapy and blood disorders.
