RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

1. Bioinformatics research experience: RNA sequence analysis for evolution

and phylogeny study (2008~present)

Keywords: sequence analysis, phylogenetic analysis, noncoding RNA, data

mining

I develop the pipeline for analyzing noncoding RNAs and constructing the

phylogenetic tree for the molecules based on their sequences and secondary

structures.

2. Cellular and molecular biology research experience

2.1 I studied Axon guidance of olfactory receptor neuron and antennal lobe

development in Drosophila by gene knockout, RNAi and other molecular

methods.

2.2 I carried out molecular physiological study on the effect of Estrogen

in male reproductive tract by realtime PCR.

2.3 I investigated the relationship between gene polymorphisms of Aryl

Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) and Estrogen Receptor (ER) and human

susceptibility to bladder cancer.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Trained as a teacher's college undergraduate student (1994-1998)

Teaching Assistant, Department of Cell and Developmental Biology,

University of Illinois, Urbana (2006~2007)

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

2006~2008 Chair of OCEF-UIUC I founded the student organization, OCEF-UIUC,

as a local branch of OCEF (Overseas China Education Foundation). OCEF is a

charity organization dedicated to promoting the education in rural areas of

China.

In 2008-2009, OCEF-UIUC is awarded University of Illinois TIS Outstanding

Organization Award because of our excellent work in promoting education in

China.

2009-2011, I am board member of OCEF, in charge of OCEF local branch

development and networking all over the world.
