Research Focus
Dr. Peijing Jeremy Wang's lab at the University of Pennsylvania focuses on understanding meiosis, the process that reduces the chromosome number in cells to produce gametes. The lab investigates how certain proteins and factors influence this process and contribute to genetic diversity and overall reproductive health. By tackling the molecular mechanisms behind meiosis, the research aims to shed light on issues related to infertility and birth defects.
