Hi! My name is Zepeng Mu, I usually go by “Phoenix”, and my Chinese name is 牟泽鹏. I am a Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr. Soumya Raychaudhuri at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Broad Institute, and Harvard Medical School. I’m passionate about integrating functional genomics tools with statistical genetics to understand how non-coding genetic variants affect gene regulation and human diseases. Spefically, I use CRISPR base editing and prime editing to introduce non-coding disease-associated variants and understand their functional impact on gene expression in human primary T cells. Before moving to Boston, I obtained my Ph.D. with Dr. Yang I. Li at The University of Chicago. I received my BS from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS).

Human genetics has emerged as one of the most dynamic areas of biology, with a broadening societal impact. In this review, we discuss recent achievements, ongoing efforts, and …
Genetic studies have identified thousands of individual disease-associated non-coding alleles, but the identification of the causal alleles and their functions remains a critical …
Background: The vast majority of trait-associated variants identified using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are noncoding, and therefore assumed to impact gene regulation. …
