Research interests
Over the last 4 years, I build a framework to mine new knowledge and potential applications by bioinformatics and big data analysis. This framework insights the linkages between data to knowledge and applications in the field of environment microbiology.
Interfaces:
- Big data mining + bioinformatics
- Clinical health + risk
- Microbiome + metabolism
Techniques:
- Method development
- Bioinformatics pipeline development
- Big data integration and visualization
Topics:
- Antibiotic resistance
- Mobile genetic elements
- Not-yet-cultured functional microbes
Current projects
I'm developing the next stage of my career and applying my whole package to this brand new field of human microbiome. I'm building an integrated analysis method to combine genomes, meta-omics, isolates, and model animals to mining new knowledge and applications. I'm also a new member in the
Global Microbiome Conservancy. My current research focuses on:
- The evolution of functional genes and microbial groups
- Traits that shape, maintain and disturb our gut microbes
- Diseases-related gut microbes and functions
