Welcome to my personal website! I am Zhetian Jia, a PhD student in Epigenetics, specializing in DNA methylation research. My work primarily focuses on how cutting-edge liquid biopsy technologies can help uncover early diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for neurological diseases.
In my research, I explore how DNA methylation changes impact gene regulation, aging, and disease development, particularly in neurological diseases and cancer. My current focus includes:
- Dynamic Changes in DNA Methylation: Using liquid biopsy techniques to analyze cfDNA in peripheral blood, I investigate how methylation patterns correlate with the onset, progression, and prognosis of various diseases.
- Single-Cell Analysis: I utilize single-cell methylation data to explore the epigenetic modifications of neural cell populations, with particular emphasis on diseases like Moyamoya.
- Innovative Technologies: I am developing and applying novel micro DNA modification detection methods and high-throughput data analysis workflows to bridge the gap between genomic research and clinical applications.
On this site, you will find updates on my research progress in DNA methylation, liquid biopsy, and neuroscience. I also share reviews and insights on recent developments in epigenetics.
Feel free to explore my research, technical implementations, and my broader thoughts on epigenetics. If you have any questions or collaboration opportunities, don’t hesitate to reach out!

This is a bare-minimum template to create a Jekyll site that uses the Just the Docs theme. You can easily set the created site to be published on GitHub Pages – the README file explains how to do that, along with other details.
If Jekyll is installed on your computer, you can also build and preview the created site locally. This lets you test changes before committing them, and avoids waiting for GitHub Pages.1 And you will be able to deploy your local build to a different platform than GitHub Pages.
More specifically, the created site:
- uses a gem-based approach, i.e. uses a
Gemfileand loads thejust-the-docsgem - uses the GitHub Pages / Actions workflow to build and publish the site on GitHub Pages
Other than that, you’re free to customize sites that you create with this template, however you like. You can easily change the versions of just-the-docs and Jekyll it uses, as well as adding further plugins.
Browse our documentation to learn more about how to use this theme.
To get started with creating a site, simply:
- click “use this template” to create a GitHub repository
- go to Settings > Pages > Build and deployment > Source, and select GitHub Actions
If you want to maintain your docs in the docs directory of an existing project repo, see Hosting your docs from an existing project repo in the template README.
