About

I am a PhD student major in bioinformatics in Zhejiang University - University of Edinburgh (ZJU-UoE) institute. I am currently working in labW. I am interested in genomic/multi-omics algorithm development, data analysis, back-end data storage and optimization, and front-end visualization.

I am currently developing algorithms/tools for better understanding of transcriptome dynamics and clonal enrichment of antigen-receptors in cancers and autoimmune diseases (See pinned projects below). I am also working on the development of a database for human antigen-receptors, huARdb-v2, which is a comprehensive database for human antigen-receptors.
