Minhee Park is a researcher at KAIST, focusing on the interplay between epigenetic regulation and 3D chromatin structure. Their work explores how chromatin organization influences gene regulation and epigenetic memory, with a particular emphasis on synthetic biology approaches to engineer epigenetic systems. Park's research integrates computational modeling with experimental techniques to study transcriptional kinetics and chromatin dynamics. Key areas include the role of topological domains in gene regulation, synthetic chromatin regulators, and the development of tools for programmable DNA methylation and epigenetic modification. Their studies aim to unravel the mechanisms underlying chromatin-based epigenetic inheritance and its therapeutic potential.
