Yu Wang
Bioinformatics Scientist III
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYu Wang is a Bioinformatics Scientist III with a decade of experience applying sequencing technologies to cancer genomics and cardiovascular genetics. Currently at Thermo Fisher Scientific after a research-intensive tenure at the University of Michigan, he has led genetic analyses of ~2,000 samples, authored first-author papers in JAMA Cardiology and ATVB, and earned a Kirschstein T32 award. He combines deep computational training (M.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Tech) with a Ph.D. in Cancer Genomics, plus hands-on leadership from his CTO role at a genomics startup that helped secure Series A funding. Yu’s work spans SNV-calling methods, intra-tumor heterogeneity, and genetic algorithm applications—bringing both algorithmic rigor and translational focus to precision medicine. Based in Ann Arbor, he’s equally comfortable building analysis pipelines as he is partnering with clinical teams to turn genomic data into actionable insights.
