Peter Cheung is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at York University. His research focuses on the regulation of gene expression, exploring fundamental biological processes that determine the growth, differentiation, identity, and function of cells. His laboratory employs a combination of molecular biology and biochemistry techniques to dissect the mechanisms that regulate mammalian gene expression, particularly through post-translational modifications of histone proteins. His current projects investigate the roles of histone modifications in gene activation and the interplay of histone variants in epigenetic regulation. Dr. Cheung's notable research contributions include investigating the molecular details of histone phosphorylation and understanding how these modifications work together to diversify the regulatory outcomes of cell functions. His work has significant implications for understanding the basic principles of cell biology and the mechanisms underlying diseases like cancer caused by dysregulation of gene expression.
