Research Interests:
I study cellular aging in the model organism of the budding yeast. By taking advantages of natural variation, I aim to uncover the genetic mechanisms of longevity. I use mathematical modelling and computational approaches to study the emergent aspects of cellular aging based on gene/protein networks. I am also interested in microbial genomics and molecular evolution.
