Biography
Dr. Qing-Peng Kong, Professor, Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. My laboratory is mainly interested in the following fields: (1) mtDNAphylogenomics in Asia (especially Eastern Asia) and reconstructing the prehistory of Asian populations by using multiple genetic markers; (2) understanding the genetic basis of longevity and major disease.
