RESEARCH EXPERIENCES
Current Project
-
Comparative Peripheral T-cell lymphoma genomic analysis
It is designed to study similar and dissimilar genomic characteristics of peripheral T- cell lymphoma (PTCL) using whole exome sequencing data (120 samples). Here, it is expected to find the characteristics of SNV, CNV, mutational signatures, Clonal analysis, and mutations in HLA type 1 of different subtypes of PTCL. Features selected from this study will be used in new target therapeutic agents and new subtyping of PTCL.
-
Salivary cancer analysis
It is designed to find the molecular characteristics between two subtypes of salivary cancer using RNA-seq data (26 patients). It is expected to discover marker genes / features that can distinguish between high-grade and low-grade tumor. They could be used as prognostic marker for Salivary cancer.
