Hye‐Yeon Hwang Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Hye-Yeon Hwang's research spans diverse areas, from genetic engineering to the epigenetic underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disorders. Her work leverages CRISPR technology, as demonstrated by recent publications detailing targeted genomic translocations, inversions, and precise editing of nucleotide repeat expansions in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Hwang also investigates epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, in the context of maternal obesity models and exposure to endocrine-disrupting compounds, linking these modifications to brain and behavioral outcomes. Additionally, her research incorporates multi-omic profiling of cancer stem cells. Another facet of Hwang's work involves rice cultivation and yield improvement, with a specific focus on the role of GABA.
