Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHanchen Wang is a data scientist-turned-medical student with a decade of experience applying machine learning, bioinformatics, and statistical modeling to genomics, metagenomics, and healthcare data. He holds an MDS from UBC and an MS/BSc from McGill, and has led projects that improved production models by 7%, automated large genomic pipelines, and resulted in multiple first-author publications and CIHR-funded collaborations. At McGill and BC Children’s Hospital he built reproducible analysis workflows and large reference databases (including a 21,000-species genome resource) that underpinned pathogen detection and stem cell studies. Now balancing a Data Analyst II role with clinical training at UBC Medicine, he bridges analytical rigor and patient-centered thinking to translate complex data into actionable insights. A mentor to junior analysts and an award-winning researcher, he combines hands-on coding (Python/R/SQL) with a curiosity-driven approach to interdisciplinary problems.
