Biography
I am mainly engaged in molecular genetics and epigenetics research of human malignant tumors. The research interests are focused on finding genes related to the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer and gastric cancer. To explore the role of RNA editing in tumor development and development, and to identify tumor stem cells and their Dry control mechanism and so on several aspects. Over the past five years in the SCI included in the international magazine published a high level of more than ten papers, including Nature Medicine, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Gut and other magazines.
Research Interest
Genes related to the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer and gastric cancer.
