Dashboard – I'm an Engineer 2024/25

Profile

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.
