Kin Fai Au works on genomics and computational biology, focusing on long-read RNA sequencing technologies and their use to study RNA structure, gene isoform expression, and chemical modifications like m6A (a common RNA modification linked to gene regulation). Recent work applies these methods to questions in reproductive biology, such as RNA changes during oocyte-to-embryo development, as well as developing bioinformatics tools for analyzing sequencing data and CRISPR screens.
