The overarching goal of this project is to understand chromatin dynamics in tissue engineering of skin for the scalable production of personalized, genetically corrected skin sheets for patients with the debilitating disease Epidermolysis bullosa. The lab has previously published the Therapeutic Reprogramming method, and, now, Jennifer aims to detail high-fidelity lineage commitment by detailing the transcription factor network and its interactions.
