Research Interests

I have a wide range of research interests related to Statistical Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biostatistics. In methodological research, I focus on developing statistical method for Statistical Genetics (genotype calling and copy number variants detection) and meta-analysis of high-throughput data. In addition, I am also interest in collaborative research. I have many collaborative experience with researchers in different area such as clinical trial, psychiatry, computational biology and genetics.

Research Description

  • Statistical Genetics
    • Genotype calling method in sequencing data
    • Copy number variants (CNVs) in whole exome sequencing (WES)
    • Exon deletion in whole exome, whole genome and RNA-Seq
  • Meta-analysis
    • Meta-analysis of P-value combination and clustering analysis in microarray data set
    • Integrative-omics study of SNP-array, methylation and gene expression
  • Collaborative research
    • Clinical trial
    • Psychiatry (major depressive disorder, aging)
