KVON LAB

Huge congratulations to our PhD student Joshua Alcantara on receiving an F31 fellowship from NICHD to study “How gene regulatory redundancy ensures robustness of mammalian development”. Well done!

Congratulations to our Postdoc Zhuoxin for winning the Dean’s Early Career Research Excellence Award!

Our preprint describing a new dual-enSERT method to functionally test enhancer variants in vivo is published in Nature Communications. Congratulations to our MSTP student Ethan, who led the study! See Papers.

Our review on the genetic factors mediating long-range enhancer–promoter communication in mammalian development is out in Current Opinion in Genetics & Development. Congratulations to Grace. See Papers.​

Our lab’s research has been featured in the latest issue of The Scientist Digest. See The Scientist Interview.

We are grateful to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development for supporting our studies on the mechanisms of enhancer mutations in congenital limb disorders over the next five years. See the UCI press release.

We are happy to share our new work Conserved Cis-Acting Range Extender Element Mediates Extreme Long-Range Enhancer Activity in Mammals. Huge congratulations to our PhD student Grace who led the project! See Papers.

Our preprint characterizing mouse developmental enhancer—promoter interaction is published in Nature Genetics. Congratulations to our postdoc Zhuoxin Chen who led the study! See Papers.
