From Santa Fe Institute Events Wiki
I'm a PhD student in genetic epidemiolgoy at Cardiovascular Institute & Fu Wai Hospital, Beijing. My bachelor degree was on mathematics at Beijing Institute of Technology. Researh in our lab has been trying to find suscibtable genes for diseases like hypertension and coronary heart disease from genotype data. Currently, I am on my first effort to consider the genetic effects in a backgroud of interactions with other genes and enviromental factors, and from the perspective of systems biology. Computational statistics tools in data mining, machine learning are of special interest. Looking forward for a great time with you all!
