I have spearheaded the development of The Common Metabolic Diseases Genome Atlas, an extensive bioinformatic and software platform. This innovative tool seamlessly links together thousands of genomic datasets, aiming to uncover the fundamental origins of diseases and enhance the efficiency of drug target investigations within the field of metabolic conditions.
Deciphering Lung Diseases at Single Cell Resolution
(March 2020 - Present)
My research is dedicated to exploring the molecular and genetic elements of lung diseases. Our team's significant achievement includes creating the Lung Genome Browser, which merges detailed single-cell data to investigate respiratory diseases and the effects of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Our findings have shed light on the varied symptoms of these ailments. Currently, I am focusing on the genetic contributors to Bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
I took the initiative to create Echinobase, a sophisticated software platform, and conducted comprehensive bioinformatics analyses. This endeavor aimed to investigate the influence of genetic knockout and environmental factors on gene regulation, shedding light on evolutionary patterns. The outcome of this project has yielded a vital tool for conducting research on gene regulation and evolution, effectively addressing a significant gap within various research communities.
I enhanced the reciprocal smallest-distance algorithm for better cloud platform integration, significantly cutting computational costs by 40% and pioneering the first cloud-based comparative genomic algorithm. This advanced tool is pivotal in decoding genomic connections and predicting the evolutionary trajectory of genes and organisms.
