Summary
Haopeng Yu is a computational biology scientist and HFSP fellow with eight years of experience applying bioinformatics, ML/DL/LLM and full‑stack web development to decode RNA biology from high‑throughput sequencing data. Based at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, he combines rigorous statistical analysis and AI modelling to drive hypothesis‑led discoveries and has led papers in journals such as Nucleic Acids Research, Nature Communications and Genome Biology. He builds and maintains community resources—like G4Atlas, iM-Seeker and CRISPR-CBEI—that translate complex analyses into usable web tools for experimentalists. A practiced communicator and invited speaker at major RNA and HFSP meetings, he blends deep computational expertise with hands‑on software engineering to move projects from data to deployable infrastructure. Notably, his work emphasizes interpreting RNA structural function through AI, reflecting a view that “all biology is computational biology.”
