👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaichao Wang is a bioinformatician and PhD researcher at the University of Cambridge with a decade of experience applying molecular biology and advanced software skills to cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for cancer detection. He develops analytical methods and pipelines in R and Python to extract diagnostic signals from cfDNA sequencing, translating wet-lab insights into robust computational tools. With prior bioinformatics analyst experience at Cambridge and an MPhil from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, he bridges experimental design and computational implementation. An entrepreneurial thinker, he combines deep domain knowledge in medical science with practical software engineering, often optimizing reproducible workflows and statistical methods that improve sensitivity in low-input liquid biopsy data.
