معرفی
Zhenyu Xuan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), part of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. His research focuses on developing computational methods to analyze cancer genomics data and understand carcinogenesis mechanisms. He holds a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2000) and a B.S. in Theoretical Physics from Nanjing University (1995).
Professional preparation includes postdoctoral fellowships at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (2000–2010) before joining UTD in 2010. Research interests span systems biology approaches to high-throughput data, including NGS and microarray analysis, with applications in cancer genomics, epigenomics, and infectious disease pathways.
Recent work explores mechanisms linking mitochondrial dysfunction to Alzheimer’s disease, PRC2 heterogeneity in medulloblastoma, and computational drug-target prediction. Awards include the Di Ao Award (2000) and Second Yi Li Da Prize (1996) from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
His lab investigates transcriptional regulation, viral pathogenesis, and cellular signaling networks. He has contributed to projects such as CoreBoost_HM promoter prediction and TargetLink miRNA target identification. Active in collaborative research, he has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles spanning computational biology, genomics, and systems biology.
