Research Interests:

His research interests focus on (Epi)genetics and (Epi)genomics for human complex diseases. DNA methylation, miRNA, and lncRNA in the research of cancers and complex diseases

Description: Via a loss-of-function approach, we have been engaged in genomewide search for genes and pathways that are implicated in the development and progression of HCC, as well as in primary and acquired resistance to anti-HCC therapies.
