My name is Yan Liang. I was born in Hefei City, Anhui Province. In 2017, I received a Ph.D. in Epidemiology and Health Statistics from Anhui Medical University. During my Ph.D. stage, I mainly studied genetic epidemiology and biostatistics. After that, I joined in Sun Yat-sen University and worked as an assistant research fellow. My research fields include Genome-Wide Association Study, Transcriptome-Wide Association Study, Quantitative Trait Loci and Colocalization. I would like to play basketball, swim, and listen to music during my spare time.
