Professor Hao Sun is currently an assistant professor and a bioinformatics specialist in the Department of Chemical Pathology. He received his Ph.D. in the field of Environmental Chemistry from Nanjing University, China in 1998 and a M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Akron, USA in 2002. Before he joined The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2009, he worked as a Co-Director of the Bioinformatics Core Facility in Wistar Institute at Philadelphia, USA during 2008 to 2009 and as a Research Scientist/Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics, College of Medicine and Public Health, at the Ohio State University, USA from 2001 to 2008.

Professor Sun’s research interests focus on (i) understanding the fundamental aspects of transcriptional regulation of both coding and noncoding genes; (ii) developing of new computational algorithms and tools for identifying novel biomarkers, particularly for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis using high-throughput DNA sequencing. His research is computationally driven and interdisciplinary in nature with a complement of collaborative experimental investigation with bench scientists
