Summary
Fan Zhang is a tenure-track Assistant Professor and PI at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus with nine years of experience at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and immunology. She develops and applies statistical machine learning methods for single-cell multi-omics and systems immunology to unravel mechanisms of immune-mediated diseases. Her background includes research and core computational roles at Broad Institute, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, where she translated high-dimensional genomics into biological insight. Trained in bioinformatics and computational biology (PhD WPI) with earlier work in biomedical signal processing, she blends rigorous methods development with hands-on experimental collaboration. Colleagues describe her work as both mathematically grounded and immediately relevant to translational medicine, advancing tools that enable cell-resolution understanding of disease.
