Biography

My research primarily focuses on the systematic identification and functional annotation of special long non-coding RNAs. I have served as the Principal Investigator (PI) for 5 national-level projects. As a corresponding author (or co-corresponding author), I have published over 20 SCI-indexed papers in international journals, including  Nat Commun ,  Genome Biol , and  EMBO J .

In addition to my research, I have been honored with more than ten awards for my teaching and mentorship, such as being the faculty advisor for the Grand Prize winner of the Ministry of Education's "Question and Conjecture" Competition, receiving the Peking University Excellent Teaching Award, and winning the First Prize in the Young Teachers' Teaching Competition.
