👥Biography 个人简介
Stephen Baylin is a pioneer in cancer epigenetics who discovered that DNA methylation silences tumor suppressor genes in cancer. His work has led to FDA-approved epigenetic therapies and continues to inform understanding of how epigenetic changes drive cancer development and can be targeted therapeutically.
