-	I'm working on the role of [http://www.ihop-net.org/UniPub/iHOP/gs/90565.html/ NFIB] in [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/polycythemia-vera/DS0091/ Polycythemia Vera]. It's known that 90% of the P. Vera patients have a mutation in [http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Genes/JAK98.html/ JAK2] protein, in which the V617 is substituted with a phenylalanine. It has been shown by a former graduate student in the lab that besides JAK2V617, NFIB is significantly upregulated in P. Vera patients. In addition, NFIB is located in close proximity to the JAK2 gene on the 9th chromosome. Therefore, the goal of my project is to identify the role of NFIB in P. Vera, as well as its correlation with JAK2V617F.

		+	Unlike solid tumors, [http://www.lls.org/ leukemia] can not be removed by surgery. Therefore, understanding how leukemia initiate and progress on the molecular level is particularly important for developing treatments. I study Myeloproliferative Neoplasms ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17882280/ MPNs]), which is a type of blood malignancy caused by overproliferation of blood cells. For my thesis work, I compared the [http://www.microarrayworld.com/ gene expression profiles] of MPN patients to healthy controls, identified several genes that are misregulated in patients, and studied their contribution to the development of MPNs. In the past five years, I worked with human and mouse [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow/ bone marrow] samples, performed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell_transplantation/ bone marrow transplantation] on mice, and acquired a wide range of bench research skills in molecular and cell biology.
