Personal profile
Research Interests
I mainly work on the genetic mechanisms of common complex diseases such as pain phenotypes and diabetic eye complications using GWAS based on population cohorts (the UK Biobank, etc). I also expand my research into single cell RNA sequencing on human tissues.
Personal profile
My motto: lie low and make no trouble.
BSc: Zhejiang University, MBBS
MSc: Zhejiang University, Internal Medicine
