Seeking a bioinformatics Analyst with strong spatial transcriptomics, scRNA-seq and Visium HD expertise to analyze single-cell and spatial data, support lab training, and advance lung regeneration research. Dr. Yan Hu’s research aims to uncover therapeutic pathways to promote small airway and alveolar regeneration, particularly in diseases where current treatments are limited, such as COPD and BPD. Her lab employs cutting-edge methodologies, including single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, patient-derived lung organoids, ex vivo precision-cut lung slices, and transgenic animal disease models. By integrating these advanced approaches, Dr. Hu seeks to advance our understanding of lung epithelial progenitor cell function and develop innovative strategies to enhance lung tissue repair.
Analyzes genomic data to identify and interpret genetic variations, providing insights into disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
