    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    My research interests are genomic and microbiome epidemiology at the intersection of next generation sequencing and systems biology for understanding pathogenesis of infectious disease and the role of human microbiome in health and disease. I have particular interests on genomic epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance and microbiome-targeted intervention for cancer infection and cancer therapy. Using Oxford Nanopore Technology, my research laboratory has focused on real-time genomic surveillance of antimicrobial resistance for infection control and antibiotic stewardship for immunocompromised cancer patients dealing with big data, EHR data, machine learning, visualization, and further multiomics integration.
