個人簡介：
2009 年畢業于北京大學醫學部醫學實驗專業，取得學士學位，2012年在英國曼徹斯特大學生命科學系取得博士學位。博士期間以研究蛋白-DNA 結合特異性以及細胞周期 G2/M 期的調控為主題，發現并且闡明了一個促癌轉錄因子FOXM1調控G2/M期的特殊機制。在完成博士研究之后，于2013年來到歐洲生物信息研究所(European Bioinformatics Institute)從事博士后工作，進行表觀遺傳學、生物信息學，以及單細胞測序方面的研究。2016年加入維康桑格研究所(Wellcome Sanger Institute)成為高級研究員。2019年加入南方科技大學生物系，任助理教授。
研究領域：
(1) 單細胞表觀遺傳以及轉錄組測序技術開發
