Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHelen Huang is a computational and systems immunologist with eight years of experience blending high-dimensional data analysis, mechanistic modeling, and experimental perturbation to uncover principles of immune function. Currently a Warsaw Fellow and PhD candidate in Bioinformatics at UCLA, she has built and simulated a 400+ ODE model of B-cell signaling, analyzed immune repertoires and spatial transcriptomics, and quantified single-cell NFkB dynamics. She pairs deep computational rigor—administering Linux servers, deploying bioinformatics pipelines, and troubleshooting hundreds of packages—with hands-on experimental work, including maintaining a large mouse colony and mentoring students. Comfortable moving between theory, simulation, and bench validation, she also brings an interdisciplinary creative streak from art-science and web design projects and a love of backpacking, scuba diving, and skiing that fuels her curiosity and resilience.
