His early research work focused on the clinical aspects of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Spondyloarthritis (SpA). In 2010, He was grated as “Guangdong Excellent Postgraduate of Guangdong Province”. In 2012, he completed the work as the first author, which screening for susceptibility genes of Ankylosing Spondylitis on population high-density genome-wide of in China, and he found two new susceptibility sites. His research has been published in Journals of The Top International Professional , Nature Genetics(IF: 29.648).
He has published papers 19 in SCI, including Nature Genetics, etc, which the first or contribute equally was total 9. In addition, he also has published the abstract almost 40 in the International Conference.
