Abstract

Chee Kiang (Ethan) Ewe is an EMBO Postdoctoral Fellow working in the lab of Oded Rechavi at Tel Aviv University, Israel. Here he studies how small RNAs regulate gene expression and, more specifically, how these enable epigenetic inheritance. Ethan has been an active member of the preLights community, acting as one of its ambassadors this year, and is now one of Development's Pathway to Independence programme fellows. We caught up with him to find out what drives and excites him, and what he hopes to achieve in his own lab.
