Biography

Jun Lu is an Associate Professor at the Yale School of Medicine, specializing in Genetics. His research focuses on the significant role of noncoding RNAs in the regulation of gene expression and cellular functions, particularly in the context of hematopoiesis. Lu's laboratory studies the noncoding epigenetic controls involved in blood cell formation, investigating glycosylation modifications of noncoding RNAs that play important roles in neutrophil biology. He aims to uncover the mechanisms of biogenesis and regulation of these molecules, as well as their potential therapeutic applications. His work has implications for understanding how differentiated cell types adopt specific morphologies, with ongoing research into the nuclear morphology of neutrophils during differentiation. Lu's interests also extend to the intersection of cancer biology and immune cell interactions.
