Jun Song Biography

Dr. Song is a molecular biologist by training, with a research focus in transcriptional regulation, cancer, epigenetics, stem cells, and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). His early research involved the genomic identification and characterization of transcriptional factors. Over the course of his career, Dr. Song have developed a novel RNAi vector and broaden his research in cancer and HIV research using the RNAi technology. Recently years, Dr. Song has focused on Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and developed a targeted sequencing technology that reduces the cost significantly.
