Biography

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow affiliated with the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan. My research expertise primarily focuses on bioinformatics, with multidisciplinary applications spanning molecular immunology, structural biology, and clinical genetics. My primary objective is to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms governing regulatory T cells (Tregs)—a specialized immune cell subset characterized by the master transcription factor Foxp3 and responsible for maintaining immunosuppressive homeostasis.
