Currently, Han is interested in chromosome shattering during genomic catastrophes and is currently investigating complex chromosomal rearrangements caused by chromosome segregation errors. He is also developing tools to engineer and rapidly shuffle artificial linear minichromosome platforms via haploid induction.
