Biography

Jun Lu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Genetics at Yale University. He completed his PhD at Boston University in 2003 and subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the Broad Institute, MIT, and Harvard, concluding in 2008. His research primarily focuses on exploring the functions of non-coding RNAs and their significance in regulating cellular processes, especially in hematopoiesis and neutrophil biology. Recent investigations in his lab have revealed the roles of glycosylation modifications on cell surface RNAs, implicating their involvement in cell differentiation and immune response mechanisms. Jun Lu aims to understand how different cell types develop specialized morphologies during differentiation. His work contributes significantly to the fields of cell differentiation, hematologic diseases, and the interplay between cancer and immune responses.
