Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShunhua Han is a Senior Staff Bioinformatics Scientist at Illumina with nine years’ experience developing algorithms to resolve medically important, hard-to-sequence regions of the human genome. He leads work on multi-region joint detection for haplotype-resolved variant discovery using Illumina’s Constellation on-flowcell proximity sequencing, with a focus on segmental duplications and other challenging loci. A PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of Georgia, he has published first-author papers on transposable element detection and genome evolution in cell culture, and previously built a genome-wide short tandem repeat catalog during an Illumina internship. Known for translating cutting-edge sequencing technologies into practical variant-detection tools, he blends deep computational methods with hands-on sequencing insight to push clinical-grade genomics forward.
