About the Yun Lab
The Yun group leverages salamander systems in order to unveil the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying organ regeneration, determine how phylogenetic changes affect regenerative potential, and probe the links between regeneration and ageing. We employ two genetically-tractable salamander models, the axolotl and the Iberian ribbed newt, known for their extreme regenerative abilities and negligible senescence traits.
Combining state-of-the-art genetics, cell and molecular biology approaches, advanced imaging, multiomics and cross-species comparative studies, we aim to uncover fundamental principles of regeneration and ageing towards basic and therapeutic applications. Further information can be found at www.theyunlab.com.
We offer an international, creative, science-driven and inspiring environment. The successful candidates will benefit from our large network of collaborations (Germany, UK, USA) and have immediate opportunities to contribute to international projects. Our lab is located at the newly built Institute for Regenerative Biology and Medicine, Chinese Institutes for Medical Research.
