Find a Data Champion

I studied biomedical engineering for my bachelor's degree at Southeast University in Nanjing, China. During my senior year, I interned at BGI-Shenzhen, where I began to extend my knowledge of bioinformatics by working on the genomics of plants, such as the ginkgo tree, and animals. During my Master's at the same university, I had the opportunity to start exploring the formation of algae blooms by characterizing the compositions of the bloom-forming microbial communities in Lake Taihu. Using metagenomics, we found that complementation in bioprocesses, such as nitrogen fixation, between cyanobacteria and their physically attached microbes contributes to the formation of aggregates. In 2017, I moved to Germany for my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research. There, I applied and developed computational tools to help us understand host-microbe interactions. Specifically, I focused on unravelling the complex relationships between plants and the microbes living inside and in the immediate vicinity of their roots.
 

I am an MBPhD student, currently in my 2nd year of PhD at MRC Cancer Unit. I analyse data of various sequencing technologies using bioinformatics and computational genomic approaches. 

 I am a 2nd-year PhD student in computational biology. Currently, I am developing machine learning applications in studying disease mechanisms using omics integration and analysis at the Department of Surgery and the Milner Therapeutic Institute.
