Rongkun Shen

Rongkun Shen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at The College at Brockport, State University of New York. His research focuses on bioinformatics and computational biology, with an emphasis on genome-wide regulatory networks in development, disease, and environmental responses.

Dr. Shen’s work integrates next-generation sequencing data (RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq) with machine learning to explore microRNA target prediction, CREB binding mechanisms, and integrative genomic data mining. His publications span 2021 to 2010, reflecting sustained contributions to adipogenesis, neurogenetics, and circadian epigenetics.

Key research themes include:

• Computational modeling of gene regulation
• MicroRNA networks in motor neuron fate
• Epigenetic switches in circadian clocks
• Machine learning for genomic data analysis
