Yuwei Zhang

Yuwei Zhang is a Research Fellow in Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School's Department of Biomedical Informatics. Her research focuses on computational genomics and algorithm development for analyzing genome architecture.

• PhD in Computer Science (2022) from City University of Hong Kong
• Current affiliation: Park Lab at Harvard Medical School

Research Interests: Specializes in graph-based algorithms for identifying hierarchical structures in genomic data, particularly TADs (Topologically Associated Domains) and RNA-associated interactions. Works on mosaic mutation analysis and chromosomal interaction data integration for genomic variant interpretation. Key contributions include SuperTAD - a robust detection method for topologically associated domains.

Key Publications: 4 major works (2018-2022) covering topics across

• Genomic structure analysis
• Single-cell copy number profiling
• MHC class I peptide design
• Computational epigenomics

Affiliation: Part of the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School, working within the computational biomedicine core and collaborating with various research labs.
