BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Xiao Jiashun is currently a research scientist of Shenzhen Institute of Big Data Research. He received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2022, and a Bachelor's degree in Bioinformatics from Southern University of Science and Technology in 2017. He joined WeGene as a bioinformatics engineer from 207 to 2018. His research aims to develop statistical and machine learning methods for multi-omics data, including trans-ancestry association mapping, polygenic prediction with large-scale genetic data, and integrative analysis of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data, etc. He has published several papers in international academic journals (AJHG, Bioinformatics, etc.) as the first or co-first author.
