研究方向：肿瘤癌变原理、肿瘤耐药机制及肿瘤干细胞研究，主要研究造血系统恶性肿瘤多发性骨髓瘤（Multiple Myeloma, MM）的癌变及耐药机制：1.利用单细胞技术探讨MM细胞起源及建立耐药过程中的克隆演进模型；2.利用转录组、微生物组和代谢组等多组学技术结合MM临床标本和MM鼠模型探讨MM发生、发展及耐药的分子机制。

学术成就：研究成果以通讯作者或第一作者发表在Cancer Cell、Advanced Science、Microbiome、Leukemia和Cell Reports等国际一流学术期刊上，并多次获得美国血液学年会（ASH）口头发言。主持国家自然科学基金委重点项目（项目编号：82130006）、面上项目（项目编号：81974010、81570205）、湖南省重点研发项目（项目编号：2020WK2006）和海河生态实验室创新课题（HH22KYZX0030）；参与国家重点研发计划“干细胞及转化研究”试点专项（项目编号：2018YFA0107803）。担任中国细胞生物学会青年委员、中国细胞生物学会肿瘤委员会委员和中国生理学会血液生理委员会青年委员等学术任职。担任多个杂志（Frontiers oncology, Cancers等）的编辑和审稿人。
