About me

    I have successfully completed my postdoctoral training and recently attained the position of an research associate professor. My research interests encompass the fields of bioinformatics, epigenetics, and gene regulation. Currently, I am focused on conducting research on DNA methylation and immune microenvironment of gallbladder cancer.
