Senior🎓
Top SchoolShibiao Wan is an Assistant Professor and Co-Director of the Bioinformatics and Systems Biology PhD program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, bringing over a decade of expertise in machine learning, bioinformatics, and computational biology. He leads the Wan Lab, developing AI-driven methods for single-cell, spatial multi-omics, and integrative multi-omics analyses with applications in cancer, immunology, and precision medicine. With more than 40 publications in high-impact journals and editorial roles across multiple fields, he combines deep methodological development (kernel learning, semi-supervised and explainable AI) with hands-on NGS and single-cell pipeline implementation. He has a strong track record of translating algorithmic innovations into practical tools and web-servers, and has contributed to genomic privacy and large-scale unsupervised learning during postdoctoral work at Princeton and Penn. An IEEE Senior Member and award-winning peer reviewer, he bridges computational rigor and collaborative translational research across clinical and wet-lab teams. Based in Omaha, he actively mentors trainees and shapes graduate curriculum while maintaining broad service in ML-focused conferences and journals.
