Xiang Zhang , PhD

        Since October 2012, I have been working in Genomics, Epigenomics and Sequencing Core in the Department of Environmental Health and Public Health Sciences (http://eh.uc.edu/genomics/). My education and training experience, especially in the field of genetics and epigenetics, greatly help me to run the Core. As the Core director, I am particularly interested in the next generation sequencing that the Core is focusing on, which is an exciting and fast-moving area with wide applications in biomedical research. In the past a few years, I have been continuously introducing new services, developing new protocols to meet researchers' requirements.
        With my expertise and enthusiasm, I am committed to serve investigators by providing timely completion of their projects with high quality data, and developing new technologies for the Core to meet future needs.
