Research summary

Wen Tang's research focuses on genome organization and small RNA biology, particularly how proteins like cohesin structure chromosomes during cell division and how piRNAs (small RNAs that protect the genome from harmful genetic elements) are processed and regulated, often using the roundworm C. elegans as a model organism. Some publications under this name also cover unrelated clinical topics like inflammatory bowel disease and gynecological imaging, which may reflect co-authorships or a shared name across different research groups.
