職 稱: 研究員
職 務: 碩士生導師
學科類別: 基因組學/生物信息學
教育及工作經歷
2009年受聘為中國科學院北京基因組研究所研究員，從事基於下一代測序技術的計算生物學和癌症基因組學研究。
專業工作
研究方向為計算生物學。旨在整合多種來源的生物數據，利用統計學和機器學習方法設計模型，研究相關生物科學問題。曾針對胚胎幹細胞分化/增殖過程，開展了一系列系統生物學研究工作。（1）揭示Klf（Kruppel-like factor）家族在老鼠胚胎幹細胞基因轉錄過程中調節功能；（2）利用統計學模型預測幹細胞基因組中的sox2-nanog-oct4 共轉錄調控模組；（3）設計新的聚類算法，對跨物種的表達數據進行分析，比較物種間保守的調控網路結構，揭示了Klf家族基因調控模組的物種特異性。目前正從事基於下一代測序技術的基因組/轉錄組的結構變異研究，即利用測序數據：（1）分析癌症基因組中特有的結構變異形式，如大片段刪除以及特異性病毒片斷插入；（2）分析癌症轉錄組的特異性結構類型。
