🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
cfDNA Methylation-Based Cancer Detection
Developed integrated frameworks combining cfDNA methylation and fragmentation signals with machine learning classifiers to detect and localize multiple cancer types from a single blood draw.
Epigenomic Liquid Biopsy
Characterized cancer-specific methylation blocks in cfDNA enabling high-sensitivity, high-specificity multi-cancer detection without prior knowledge of tumor mutations.
