Wei group aims to define the fundamental roles of several transcription factors (TFs) including the ETS family members (Wei et al., EMBO J. 29:2147, 2010), HOXB13, MYC and other novel transcriptional regulators in driving prostate cancer progression to metastasis. We are also interested in the functional interpretation of GWAS-identified risk loci in prostate cancer (see Huang et al., Nat Genet. 46:126, 2014). We are using integrative genomics approaches such as ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and bioinformatics/computational tools. For research in detail, please visit: http://www.oulu.fi/biocenter/groups/wei.
