Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuxiang Tan is an assistant professor and bioinformatician with 11 years of experience building algorithms, databases and reproducible pipelines to analyze microbiome and transcriptomic sequencing data. He has developed a strain decomposition algorithm for metagenomics, primer coverage databases, and sensitive 16S and fusion-detection workflows that have been applied to infant microbiome development and antibiotic recovery studies. Based in Shenzhen and trained at Boston University and Illinois Tech, he blends rigorous computational method development with hands-on collaboration with clinicians to design efficient studies and validate targets. Independently minded, he balances academic research with on-demand bioinformatics support across multiple groups, translating complex NGS problems into practical, clinically relevant solutions. A detail that often goes unnoticed: his background spans both diagnostic kit development and LC/MS glycan recognition software, giving him uncommon cross-platform insight into experimental and computational assay design.
