Dr. Hu's laboratory exemplifies the effortless merger of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, with bioinformatics education and research. This commitment has birthed 'Prompt Bioinformatics', an innovative concept to harness the profound potential of natural language in guiding the complex processes of bioinformatics data analysis. In addition, our investigative efforts extend into the innovative use of LLMs across a vast spectrum of clinical settings.

Simultaneously, we deeply immerse ourselves in another cornerstone of our research - decoding the cryptic epigenetic mechanisms that breed drug resistance in hematological malignancies. Equipped with a comprehensive collection of epigenetic assays such as RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq, and single-cell Multiome, our mission is to dissect intricate epigenetic processes leading to drug resistance, consequently setting the stage for the identification of new drug targets.
