2025.12.11 Research Activities
The paper analyzes hundreds of samples the using the Illumina EPIC methylation array to analyze and compare DNA methylation in models owned by brain tumor mouse model development experts from around the world. This major project took five years from sample collection, and one of the lead authors is Tuyu Zheng (currently a postdoctoral researcher at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital), a former doctoral student whom Professor Kawauchi supervised when he was a PI in Germany. Lab members Wang (graduate student), Shiraishi (PhD graduate) and Kawauchi (PI) are coauthors. Read it here.
