											About Me: I have been living in a few places in the UK and I love travelling around the world. I am a bioinformatics researcher and I am a big fan of classical music and movies. 
- 
											My Work: I am currently working on using multi-omics techniques together with the statistics and computer science approaches to understand the molecular mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis, which is a rare progressive lung disease, with the aim to identify the biomarkers, enable early diagnosis, improve the prognosis, and develop the effective therapeutic treatment for this devastating disease. 
- 
											My Typical Day: I am a bioinformatician so that my work is entered around the computer. I come up with a plan for the day when I start my work everyday. I will stay with my computer except for the lunch/dinner/coffee break/exercise.
