SUMMARY

My interest is exploring the role and mechanism of RNA splicing in tumor development, and find new ways to treat cancer based on RNA splicing or at the RNA level. My Ph.D. project focused on studying the U1 snRNA multicopy phenomenon in Drosophila. I also have two years of work experience focused on targeted therapy development for ovarian cancer.  In the future, I would like to focus on the application of ASOs in cancer treatment.
