Joanna Dong, MD

Joanna’s work focused on elucidating the H2A.Z-mediated regulation and pathogenesis of melanoma. H2A.Z is a histone variant with many interactors, including histone chaperone complexes and transcriptional regulators, with translational potential in melanoma pharmacotherapeutic development. She used loss-of-function screens and co-immunoprecipitation studies to establish the functional roles of these H2A.Z interactors in melanoma cells.

Joanna was supported by: HHMI Medical Research Fellows Award (2016-2017)
