Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeng Xu is a multidisciplinary postdoctoral researcher with over a decade of computational biology experience and more than five years of hands-on experimental work, currently leading bioinformatics efforts at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He has driven data analysis across 10+ projects in collaboration with researchers at over 10 U.S. universities, specializing in whole-genome, transcriptomic, epigenomic, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomic sequencing for human disease studies including cancer, Alzheimer’s, insulin resistance, and cellular senescence. Equally comfortable at the bench and the terminal, he pairs CRISPR-Cas9 and tissue-culture expertise with strong coding skills in Shell, Perl, Python, and R across Linux, HPC, and cloud environments. He has built databases and webservers using MySQL and routinely mines public repositories to accelerate drug-discovery and disease-mechanism research. Trained as a PhD botanist, he brings a unique cross-kingdom perspective that informs creative approaches to complex biological problems.
