Lab Overview:
Our team specializes in GWAS and related analytical methods. With increasing data volumes domestically and internationally (biobanks, consortia, etc.), our current research projects and international collaborations have great potential for development. We maintain a long-term partnership with the Broad Institute and MGH in the United States, collaborating on multiple genetic epidemiology research projects. Details of data analysis methods are supervised and discussed with several international experts. If interested and willing, assistance in applying to renowned international institutions or schools as a visiting scholar is also possible.
In addition to analyzing data from the Taiwan Biobank, our lab is also a major member of the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative (GBMI; https://www.globalbiobankmeta.org/people). Collaboration provides access to major biobank data worldwide, and we have published multiple international cooperation projects in high-impact journals. We also analyze data from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.
We have our own cohort data and collaborate with several local hospitals on clinical research, including over 2,000 unique and valuable genetic data cases of methamphetamine use. We also have clinical and genomic data related to antidepressant and rTMS treatment of depression, with depression-related research project receiving funding from the NSTC International Outstanding Young Scholars Grant.
Our team’s research funding is very stable for the coming years, providing secure job positions. Currently, the team includes two postdoctoral researchers, and we hope to welcome more talent. Postdoctoral researchers trained by our team are highly competitive in the job market.
