Welcome to the Hua Lab!
 

Our Research

Lisa HuaThe Hua Lab studies the mechanisms of higher-order chromosome organization during the cell cycle and its function in development and cancer. In particular, we are interested in the mechanism(s) that prevents somatic chromosome pairing, and thus maintain genetic stability across daughter cells. We are taking a biophysical, molecular/cellular, and evolutionary approach to address this fundamental paradigm. Our model systems include human/mouse primary cell lines, carcinoma cell lines, Arabidopsis and other plant species, and Drosophila embryos. Our studies will allow for an understanding of genome organization and its implications in the etiology of human and plant disease.
