Research Interests

Our research primarily utilizes bioinformatics approaches to analyze high-throughput genomic data, aiming to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying prostate cancer. Over the years, we has garnered extensive experience in Cancer Genomics and Bioinformatics, particularly in analyzing various data types such as Microarray, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, scRNA-seq, scATAT-seq, Hi-C, Spatial Transcriptomics, MeDIP-Seq, BS-Seq, and Nanopore Long-read sequencing.

We have developed numerous computational pipelines for the routine processing of NGS data and are proactive in integrating newly published genomic data and acquiring advanced bioinformatics skills/tools. We are extending our research to other types of urological cancers, such as kidney and bladder cancers. Additionally, Our collaborative skills are well-demonstrated through multiple co-investigator grants and a wealth of co-authored publications.
