1. Chromosomal translocations and leukemia.
2. Functional analysis of DYRK1A to unravel its role in leukemia and in neurodegenerative disease.
3. Development of Biochemical research platform for large scale protein production.
4. Development of primate models of human diseases.

Chromosomal translocations that fuse mixed lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1) to any one of a large number of translocation partners are indicative of a poor clinical outcome in acute myeloid and lymphoid leukaemias. Up to 90% of infant leukemias bear MLL-translocations to either of the ~100 fusion gene partners. In these leukemias, MLL-fusion proteins are thought to confer biochemical activities, which promote the transcription of leukemogenic transcriptional program, including expression of HOX A9 genes, thus causing leukemia. We are investigating novel functions of the MLL-fusion proteins to understand how they cause leukemia.

Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic diseases caused by chromosomal abnormalities, including Nondisjunction, mosaicism and chromosomal translocation. DYRK1A, a gene located in Down Syndrome Critical Region on chromosome 21, is considered an important effector of some Down syndrome phenotypes. We are trying to unravel the molecular functions of DYRK1A in cellular physiology and neuronal system, using proteomics, genomics, and mouse models.
