Jihyun Jang studies how the heart develops and grows, focusing on molecular switches that control whether heart muscle cells multiply, mature, or become diseased. Much of the work examines epigenetic regulators (chemical modifications to DNA-associated proteins and RNA, such as histone deacetylases and m6A RNA marks) that influence heart chamber formation, cardiomyocyte identity, and pathological thickening (hypertrophy) of the heart muscle. This research is largely conducted in mouse models and could inform future strategies for heart regeneration or treating cardiac disease.
