Long considered genomic “junk” or inert fossils, transposons – mobile genetic elements that make up over 50% of the human genome – are now emerging as important regulators of host gene expression. Dr. Chuong’s research has revealed that transposon-derived regulatory elements have been co-opted as enhancers and transcriptional switches, playing essential roles in innate immune signaling across multiple mammalian lineages, including primates, rodents, and bats."</div> <script> window.location.href = `https://www.cancerresearch.org/cri-funded-scientists/edward-chuong-phd`;
