Profile
The laboratory works on germ cell development and differentiation in mammalian testis, explore how genome integrity is preserved in germline stem cells and attempt to trans-differentiate germline stem cells. We also aim to crack the code of meiosis and understand nature's way of inducing totipotency in the fusion product of two "nullipotent" gametes.
