معرفی
Dr. Xianjun Dong is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine, specializing in computational genomics and systems biology. His research focuses on transcriptional regulation, non-coding RNAs, and multi-omics integration to study neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. He has developed web-based tools like powerEQTL and FLED, and contributed to projects in the ENCODE consortium.
Dr. Dong holds a PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of Bergen and postdoctoral training at UMass Chan Medical School. He has over 40 publications with 24,000+ citations, an H-index of 30, and funding from NIH, APDA, and ASAP. His lab collaborates across disciplines to bridge computational and experimental methods in genome biology.
Key research areas include: (1) transcriptional regulation mechanisms, (2) non-coding RNA roles in neurodegeneration, and (3) AI-driven precision medicine using multi-modal data integration. Recent work highlights circular RNA roles in neuropsychiatric diseases and enhancer-driven genetic risk pathways.
Awards include NIH grants (R01, U19, etc.) and APDA support. His lab’s projects involve public datasets and experimental data generation, with a focus on collaborative discovery in genomic medicine.
