Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMengyuan Kan is a postdoctoral researcher with a decade of experience applying bioinformatics and statistical genetics to human disease, with deep expertise in NGS-driven association studies and cancer genomics. Based at the University of Pennsylvania, she integrates multi-omic data to pinpoint genetic and environmental determinants of complex and pulmonary diseases, translating large-scale sequencing into biological insight. Her background spans academic research and industry pipelines—from designing cancer genomics projects and mentoring graduate students in Shanghai to developing SOPs for whole-genome analyses at a genomics company. Trained with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and additional statistical genetics training at Baylor, she combines rigorous lab-based understanding with quantitative analysis to uncover driver mutations and susceptibility loci.
