Q&A

       PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTS:

  • [00:00:00] Would having multiple regulatory elements in one common site indicate the presence of multiple genes? What does it mean for the transcription?
  • [00:01:37] How did you identify the condensates?
  • [00:03:37] Is the mechanism different from stem cell to cancer cell? 
  • [00:04:00] Could you expand on the challenges and solutions in regards to multicolor Imaging?
  • [00:07:18] In terms of translation research, can you comment on the epigenetic agents for cancer cell for treatment?
