Other links I am a bioinfomratics scientist at Agendia NV, Amsterdam. My work focus on:
1. Bioinformatics, Cancer biomarker, and Personalized Medicine: analyze and interpret hetreogenous genomic datasets (genomic mutation data, SNP, protein sequence-functional annotation, networks, RNAseq, microarrays data), analyze signaling pathway targeted by drugs and mechanism of anti-cancer drug resistance, develop computational tools and molecular biomarkers for drug development, patient selection strategies in clinical trials and personalized medicine.
2. Computational biology of Furin cleavage and cleavage associated human diseases (from 2008-2011 collaborated with School of Bioscience and Bioengineering, South China University of Technology). Publications from this line are marked with
symbol.
