Position Summary
The researcher will study RNA expression regulation, especially focusing on dysregulated genes in cancer development and progression. We are particularly interested in combining bioinformatics, high-throughput multi-omics approaches such as RNA-seq, CRISPR screening, single cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, as well as standard molecular biology techniques to characterize gene expression regulation at the molecular and cellular levels. Moreover, our lab is also interested in using RNA expression profiles as molecular biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis.
