Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaifeng Zhang is a computational biologist and postdoctoral fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center with 10 years of experience combining bioinformatics and wet-lab expertise to dissect cancer evolution and the metastatic microenvironment. Trained with joint academic and clinical supervision during a PhD at HKU, he has held research roles at BGI, Karolinska Institutet, and HKUMed, publishing as first or corresponding author in high-impact oncology journals. He brings deep knowledge of tumor immunology and microenvironment composition, strong data-analysis skills, and hands-on experimental competence that bridge computational insights with translational questions. As an experienced peer reviewer for leading journals, he stays closely attuned to emerging trends in oncology and applies that perspective to mentoring and research design. Unusually for someone with a primary wet-lab focus, he maintains an active computational identity centered on cancer genetics, enabling reproducible, code-driven analyses that accelerate biological discovery.
