Welcome to Taeyoung Hwang's Lab at Lieber Institute for Brain Development and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
We aim to decode the functional 'grammar' of the human genome to understand gene regulation driving cell identity and brain disorders. To achieve this, we develop and integrate high-throughput genomics and computational biology approaches.
