Biography

Dr. Yan received doctoral degrees in both applied statistics and computational biology and bioinformatics. She is interested in genetics, genomics, computational biology, biostatistics, system biology and bioinformatics. Her current research topics include (1) understanding disease heterogeneity and pathogenesis using large-scale omics data at both bulk and single cell resolution and (2) developing novel statistical and computational methods for analyses of different types of omics data and the integration of them with drug perturbation data for potential personalized treatment design.
