Changyu (Joe) Yi

Computational biologist with Ph.D degree in biology and six-years experience analyzing high-throughput sequencing data including single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics and bulk RNA sequencing. Strong coding skills in R ,Python and Linux shell for data wrangling, normalization, analysis and visualization with solid background in biology and biostatistics principles. Looking for a bioinformatics analyst position to contribute my skills and expertise in molecular biology and computer science to cancer research.
