Senior🎓
Top SchoolWanding Zhou is a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and UPenn with 12 years of experience at the intersection of computational biology and engineering. Trained with a PhD in Bioengineering from Rice and a Biophysics BSc from Fudan, he develops and applies bioinformatics software (Python, C++, shell) for computational epigenetics, cancer methylation, and aging research. His work spans academia and translational projects, from building exome-sequencing variant callers to leading DNA methylation studies as a postdoc and faculty researcher. An active open-source contributor, he has enhanced MultiQC’s BISCUIT module to improve CpG retention reporting and visualization, reflecting a strong focus on reproducible, data-driven pipelines. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous data analysis and robust back-end tooling that bridge wet-lab assays and scalable computational workflows.
