Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYichi Xu is a computational biologist and research scholar at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center with nine years of postdoctoral experience and over a decade working in data mining and next-generation sequencing. He led analysis of single-cell RNA-seq datasets exceeding 100,000 cells, reconstructed lineage roots across 300+ cell types, and built a public database to share the lab's data. Yichi combines custom statistical frameworks, graph theory, machine learning, and optimization to tackle 10 TB-scale multidimensional 4D imaging problems and proposed a novel theory of cell migration tied to vertebrate embryogenesis. Proficient in Java, R, Linux, LaTeX and scientific communication, he bridges computational method development with hands-on collaboration among experimentalists. An understated strength is his track record of turning massive, heterogeneous biological data into reproducible resources and mechanistic insight for the community.
