I graduated from Peking University in 1999 and came to the University of Chicago for my Ph.D study in the same year. I am interested in the evolutionary fates of duplicated genes. We have found evidence for
different evolutionary patterns of two duplicate copies right after gene duplication. We are going to investigate further on this topic.
