办公地点： 东南大学江北校区汇川楼B座406

个人简介：

本科毕业于南京理工大学（应用物理学专业），博士毕业于南京大学（生物信息学方向），期间在德国哥廷根大学访学两年。随后于美国MD Anderson癌症研究中心和哥伦比亚大学任博士后和副研究科学家。2024年入职东南大学澳门新莆京3290not，任上岗研究员、博士生导师，获江苏省特聘教授。

研究方向：

长期专注于遗传学与生物信息学的交叉研究，开发干湿结合的新技术，采用跨学科的方法解决遗传学的关键科学问题并获得一系列代表性成果：1）表观遗传记忆在亲本-子代细胞之间的传递机制及其在细胞表型方面的重要作用。2）遗传突变在癌症中的作用机制。采用系统生物学和多组学的方法揭示了癌症相关突变在基因调控网络中的扰动机制，发现非编码区上的关键遗传突变的作用。3）开发基于表观遗传学、遗传学的癌症无创诊断新技术。已在Nature、Molecular Cell、Science Advances、Nature communications、Cancer Discovery等高水平期刊发表论文20余篇，研究成果在Nature、Cell等著名期刊上被丹麦科学院院士、欧洲科学院院士等多次引用。
