Our research covers several important topics in cancer transcriptome, spanning from technique-driven research that aims at developing graph-based learning models for cancer transcriptome analysis with prior knowledge (e.g., isoform quantification, biomarker identification, cancer outcome prediction, drug sensitivity prediction), to hypothesis-driven investigation of specific biological problems (e.g., changes of transcriptome upon mTOR hyper-activation). Our development leads to novel computational models and molecular signatures, which could be used in early detection, diagnosis, and prognosis of specific tumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">List of Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class='white' style='background:rgb(238, 238, 238);
