Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChangxin Wan is a bioinformatics research scientist with eight years of experience combining machine learning, statistics, and software engineering to decode single-cell multi-omics data. Currently a Ph.D. candidate in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at Duke and now at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, he builds end-to-end tools—databases like CompassDB, an R package CompassR, and automated pipelines—to integrate, visualize, and streamline analysis of single-cell Multiome datasets. His work spans academia and industry, including internships at Genentech and research roles at Dana-Farber, reflecting a track record of translating methods into reusable software for disease research. Comfortable with both algorithm development and production-ready tooling, he brings rare depth in gene regulation analysis across large public single-cell repositories. An unusual strength is his cross-disciplinary training—MS in Computer Science plus degrees in biomathematics and biotechnology—which helps him bridge computational rigor with biological insight.
