Sungyun Kang studies how DNA is organized and regulated inside cells, focusing on proteins such as CTCF and its testis-specific counterpart BORIS that shape the 3D folding of the genome and control gene activity. A recurring theme is how these proteins govern chromatin looping and gene regulation, particularly in male germ cells and sperm development (spermatogenesis).
