Assistant Professor of Genetics

Washington University in St. Louis (WU)

My lab is dedicated to understanding the molecular mysteries behind neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS and other brain disorders using multi-omics sequencing and AI techniques. Our research focuses on exploring how genetic and epigenetic factors—like gene transcription, alternative splicing, chromatin modifications, and the 3D organization of the genome—affect diseases.
