My research focuses on the fields of epigenetics and transcriptomics, specifically their pivotal roles in disease formation. Utilizing high-throughout sequencing technologies, I thus far have been able to help elucidate novel mechanisms across diverse models, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, chordoma, soft tissue sarcoma,聽congenital heart disease,聽and fetal alcohol syndrome. These investigations are the outcomes of collaborative efforts both within 黑料网, encompassing groups such as the Lineberger Cancer Center and the Neuroscience Center, as well as large consortiums like The Cancer Genome Atlas. I have since become a principal at the 黑料网 Neuroscience Bioinformatics Core and the Bioinformatics and Analytics Research Collaborative (BARC) core, where my responsibilities include spearheading the design and analysis of innovative studies. Additionally, I mentor and train emerging bioinformaticians, fostering their growth to better serve the broader campus community.
