overview
|
The long-term objective of my research program is to study interactions between genetics and environments in animals and humans using genomic and epigenomic approaches to eventually better serve our life and improve the quality of our life. I was well-trained in Genomics and Epigenomics fields with the platforms of Large Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) datasets and high-density genotypes and phenotypes data in animal and human complex diseases and traits for decades. Also, extensive experience in Genome and Epigenome Editing utilizing CRISPR-based technologies was gained at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to beat children’s Sickle Cell Disease, which would be a powerful weapon to use in the post-genome era. Due to this solid background and experience, I am overseeing multiple research projects at UHM regarding the impacts of different diets on human health disparities and the impacts of climate changes on livestock animal production using genomic and epigenomic approaches.
