Biography

My current research focuses on how inflammation impacts early B lymphopoiesis and upstream hematopoiesis in aging. By using quantitative muti-color flow cytometry analysis, in vivo bone marrow chimera experiments, mathematical modeling, and single-cell transcriptomic profiling, we can pin down the stage that is substantially impacted by the activation of inflammatory signaling and the discrepancy between cell-surface marker and transcriptomic profiles between developmental stages. My hobbies include film/digital photography and cooking.
