About
I am a Bioinformatics scientist with a strong interest in infectious disease. I received my PhD from the Chinese Academy of Science and recently completed a post-doctorate research fellowship at Duke University Health System. I have authored and co-authored 14 articles for professional journals and have a special interest in high-throughput automated next-generation sequencing, data analysis, personalized medicine, disease related variants, machine learning and big data.
While I come from a background in academia, I find working in a small company to be especially appealing since I like to work on things that help people. Research is very important, but it is often more remote and takes longer to see results in ways that affect people’s daily lives. I am excited by Aperiomics’ big market potential across industry segments. This is still an early-stage start-up company, but our business can play a significant role in the areas of human health, food safety, agriculture, and through monitoring animal populations for outbreak control.
