Summary
Yan Hui is a postdoctoral bioinformatician at the University of Copenhagen with eight years’ experience in microbial genome assembly, shotgun metagenomics, amplicon sequencing and omics-clinical data integration. Fluent in R, Python, BASH and Snakemake, he builds and maintains automated workflows for ONT and WGS analysis (notably LACA, NART and ONTrapid) and contributes to community tools like Atlas. His work bridges high-performance bio-cloud computing and experimental studies, supporting clinical trials and animal models to interpret microbiome-targeted therapies such as probiotics, diets and FMT. He has a strong track record from industry (BGI) to academia, contributing to high-impact gut–brain axis and nutrition studies and to projects funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation. Pragmatic and hands-on, he combines pipeline engineering with statistical interpretation to turn complex sequencing data into actionable biological insight. Based in Copenhagen, he is also an active maintainer of online tutorials and open-source resources for microbiome analysis.
