## Description

Huangfu Lab, part of the Sloan Kettering Institute, specializes in advanced developmental biology research, focusing on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and innovative CRISPR screening techniques. The lab investigates the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms that dictate cell-fate decisions during both development and disease. One of its key research areas is pancreatic development and beta cell biology, where they explore the genes regulating these processes to develop potential therapeutic strategies for preventing and reversing diseases like type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, Huangfu Lab employs genome-scale CRISPR screening and computational genomics to systematically identify key genes and regulatory elements involved in cell identity. They also delve into the epigenetic regulation of noncoding regulatory elements, placing particular emphasis on DNA methylation and developmental enhancers. Through their cutting-edge research, Huangfu Lab aims to uncover the complex biological underpinnings of human development, providing vital insights that could inform future treatment methods for various diseases.
