Yunxin Fu

Professor Yunxin Fu is a faculty member in the Department of Biostatistics at UTHealth Houston School of Public Health, with a center affiliation at the Human Genetics Center. Based in Houston, Texas, they specialize in computational biology and population genetics.

Their research focuses on developing statistical methods for analyzing population samples of DNA sequences, including algorithms for simulating large-scale data. Recent work involves polymorphism data from the 1000 Genomes Project and population genetics of Tetrahymena thermophila, aiming to understand mutational processes during individual development through classical experiments and next-generation sequencing.
