Min Zhao
I pursued my bioinformatics Ph.D. degree in the center of bioinformatics in Peking University. During my Ph.D. study, I received comprehensive training in molecular biology, biostatistics and bioinformatics including research designs, computational tool development and database implementation. With a solid background and comprehensive knowledge in bioinformatics and biological networks, I filled a postdoctoral research fellow position at the Vanderbilt University. During this period, I received excellent training in the understanding of genetics of complex diseases including cancer and pulmonary disease, and I applied my bioinformatics skills in analysis of large scale next-generation sequencing (NGS) data.
To date, I have worked in four different research areas. The first is data collection from public literature and databases to build bioinformatics tools for public use. The second is the integrative analysis of NGS data to decipher the genetic mechanism of complex disease. Thirdly, I applied network-based strategy on the interplay of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) and oncogenes (OCGs) using the public cancer genomic/epigenetic data. Lastly, I translated my disease genomics expertise to huge marine genomic data to explore the common cell-cell communication mechanisms of metazoan.
Degui Zhi
Associate professor (with tenure) of Biostatistics, University of Alabama at Birmingham; Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, University of California, San Diego; M.Sc. in Computer Science, National University of Singapore. Current research interests include bioinformatics and statistical genetics problems relating to next-generation sequencing and the integration of multiple types of Omics scale data.
Jiayan Zhou
Jiayan Zhou is a Senior Computational Bioinformatician at Palo Alto Veterans Institute for Research (PAVIR). He was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University School of Medicine, specializing in Cardiovascular Medicine, Population Genetics, and Molecular Biology. He is a computational geneticist with a special interest in advancing statistical methodologies and software frameworks tailored for integrating multi-omics data, aimed at elucidating novel therapeutic avenues for various human diseases. He also actively explores the intersection of AI and healthcare, leveraging AI models to address intricate challenges in healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
Matteo Zucchetta
Matteo Zucchetta obtained his PhD thesis entitled "Habitat distribution models for the management of fishery and conservation concern species in lagoon environment” at the University Ca’ Foscari Venice (Italy). He has previously covered the position of researcher University Ca’ Foscari Venice (Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics) and at the National Centre for Coastal Zone Protection and Characterization, Marine Climatology and for Operational Oceanography of the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA). Since 2020 he is a researcher of the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy. His work was carried out in the framework of different EU and Italian projects, and his main research topics are: 1) analysis of the spatial distribution of plant and animal species in coastal and transitional water bodies; 2) Community ecology in transitional water ecosystems; 3) Use of fish fauna assemblages as indicators of ecosystem ecological status; 4) Ecological models for food webs analysis; 5) Climate changes effects on aquatic ecosystems.
