Our research interests are in applying advanced genomic platform to find the solution for improving the population health. We currently aim at translating the promise of high-throughput genomic medicine into clinical reality. We mainly apply single-cell multi-omics approaches and the developing technologies for analyzing highly polymorphic gene (i.e. HLA, TCR, KIR). In addition, our lab also has early access to the newest single-cell multi-omics technologies (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, scDNA-seq, CITE-seq, scVDJ-seq, spatial profiling, and other advanced single-cell platforms). Based on these platforms, we currently focus on leveraging single-cell analysis for translational studies in immune-mediated diseases and immunotherapies.
