Introduction to Shenzhen Bay Laboratory:

Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (Guangdong Laboratory for Life Information and Biomedicine) is jointly organized by Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Committee and Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School, and is co-constructed with units with research foundation and application advantages in related fields in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, The goal is to cultivate the establishment of a national laboratory and build a national laboratory "reserve team".

Introduction of the research group:

Dr. W.S. Sho Goh graduated from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory with a Ph.D. in Biological Science. He has been research RNA biology for more than 10 years and his recent focus centers on developing high-resolution epitranscriptome sequencing technologies and investigating novel epitranscriptomic mechanisms. He started his own laboratory as a junior principal investigator at the Genome Institute of Singapore (Singapore) before moving his laboratory to Shenzhen Bay Laboratory (China). Dr. Goh has won multiple research grants including the NSFC Research Fund for International Scientist and NSFC Overseas Exceptional Young Scientist Award. He has also published in prestigious journals such as Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications, Nucleic Acids Research, Genes & Development, PLoS Computational Biology, and Molecular Cell.

The laboratory aims to: (1) Develop technologies to sequence notable epitranscriptomes at high resolution; (2) Identify novel epitranscriptomic factors and characterize mechanistically how they regulate gene expression, cellular processes and human disorders.
