My research goal is identify the genetic mechanisms of susceptibility to RSV infection. My current research focuses on discovering the genomic alterations within the immune system of the infants with RSV infection by analyzing the patients' data obtained from high throughput sequencing, particularly RNA-Seq. I am also interested in algorithm discovery and development for next generating sequencing data analysis.CredentialsEducation1995BS | Taiwan- National Chung-Hsing UniversityBotany1997MS | Taiwan-National Yang-Ming University, TaipeiBiochemistryAwardsAbstract ScholarshipSponsor: 2016 ATS International ConferencePublicationsJournal Articles11/15/2017Mariani TJ, Qiu X, Chu CY, Wang L, Thakar J, Holden-Wiltse J, Corbett A, Topham DJ, Falsey AR, Caserta MT, Walsh EE.
