I received my Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Huazhong Agricultural University where I studied the genetic and biochemical bases of rice metabolome variation by an approach combined genomics, genetics and metabolomics. Previously, I received my B.S. in Biological Science at Huazhong Agricultural University. After getting my Ph.D., I joined Dr. Wei Chia-Lin’s lab at DOE Joint Genome Institute, working on the epigenetic control of drought response in sorghum.

Currently I am a postdoctoral associate in our Genome Technologies group. My researches focus on developing ultra-long read sequencing methods with the third generation single-molecule sequencing technologies and applying them with other cutting edge genome technologies to identify the genomic structural variations in cancer genome.
