Scholarship Description:
PhD Scholarship in Epigenetics: Role of LSD1 Lysine Demethylase in Muscle Stem Cell Plasticity
Investigate the role of LSD1 lysine demethylase in determining muscle stem cell fate decisions during skeletal muscle regeneration. Utilizing molecular, cellular, and physiological approaches, coupled with multi-omics at the single-cell level, this project aims to decode the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying LSD1-mediated muscle stem cell division in a physiological context.
