Primarily engaged in research on evolutionary genetics and population genetics, focusing on the direction of "ancient human genomics research". Based on the extended application and joint development of innovative ancient DNA experimental techniques, deeply explore the origins and evolutionary history of humans and their associated species from a genetic perspective. It clarifies important scientific issues such as the genetic structure, evolutionary process, migration routes, environmental adaptation, and gene exchange with ancient humans of modern Eurasians, especially East Asians.
