Dedicated to Learning, Researching, Innovating, Discovering and Applying Novel Achievements
I received my PhD in Biomedical Science from University of Waterloo, Canada. Then I started my Postdoctoral Fellow position at Faculty of Medicine and Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto and Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, UHN, under supervision of Dr. R. Tiedemann. Currently, I am a Scientific Associate in Dr. Tiedemann's Laboratory.
My research work is focused on following aspects of cancer study:
(1) Bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational biology, machine learning and deep learning techniques on (epi)genetic data to investigate pathogenesis, evolutionary mechanism and cell-of-origin in human patient data as well as interrogating minimal residual disease in relapsed patients for the purpose of personalized medicine and targeted therapy. (2) Evolutionary dynamics and stochastic analysis on cancer/malignancy development.
Applying these approaches we aim to identify clonal ancestry and minimal residual disease for clinical patient relapse which likely provide a step forward towards more intense therapeutic strategies and ultimately control/cure for cancer. As a researcher, I am always eager to learn and pursue, examine and develop cutting-edge discoveries as well as to increase collaboration opportunities and productive scientific worldwide connections.
