Research Interest

We are interested in long noncoding RNAs (IncRNAs) aberrantly expressed in lung cancer. Through integrative analysis of human transcriptome data we can detect known and novel IncRNAs. Then we utilize molecular biology and cell biology techniques to determine the functional significance of the these IncRNAs. The overall goal is to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for lung cancer detection and treatment.
