Lu Chen, PhD

Adjunct Assistant Professor


Department: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

Lu Chen, PhD, is an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Drexel University College of Medicine.

Research Interests

Lu Chen lab uses CRISPR engineering, live cell imaging, and classic biochemical approaches to delineate the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which RNA and RNA-protein complexes contribute to epigenetics, chromatin organization, and genome maintenance. We are translating our basic science findings into new therapeutic strategies aiming to solve cancers and other aging-related degenerative diseases.
