Bioinformatics student in Dr. David Sinclair's lab, supervised by Dr. Xiao Tian.

Supervisor: Dr. Denise Daley (PI); Ming WanThe University of British Columbia and St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouverhttp://genapha.hli.ubc.ca/teamMembers.doI worked with GWAS and next-generation sequencing data in the assessment of genetic association with different phenotypes, in order to discover different genetic variants that are involved with different diseases (primarily asthma and peanut allergy). This involved careful handling of very large data sets, efficient and informative exploratory data analysis, and implementation of different statistical models.

Assisted in the development of a large DNA methylation sequencing pipeline.
