Hi! My name is YiFan Xiong, you can also call me Ewan. After completing my MS degree in 2022, I have gained two years of experience in the industry as a Bioinformatics Engineer. Returning to academia because doing research is more interesting to me and offers greater fulfillment. I currently work as a Research Assistant at XGlab at TsingHua University. I am EAGER for learning and using state-of-the-art bioinformatic methods to deep-dive into meaningful biological questions, and also interested in software development. I’m now seeking opportunities to pursue a PhD degree in order to achieve my goal of becoming a bioinformatic scientist in the future. Here is the CV for my detailed professional background and research experience.

My Research Interests

My research interests now focus on precision medicine in human diseases. I began wet-lab training in my second year of college, which made me realize that experiments are the foundation of biological research. However, the explosive growth of NGS data highlighted the importance of bioinformatics. I discovered a deep passion for bioinformatics and began coding and using computational methods in my research projects.

After experiencing the COVID pandemic, I have been constantly thinking about using bioinformatics to make data-driven breakthroughs in understanding and treating human diseases. Multi-omics provide a high-dimensional perspective on biological mechanisms, while high-throughput screening and structure-based protein function analysis can lead to greater efficiency and productivity in precision medicine. Inspired by the motto, “Keep looking, never settle,” I am eager to apply bioinformatics methods to the realm of precision medicine, aiming to help people with less effort and difficulty.

Furthermore, I am committed to promoting open, collaborative, and reproducible scientific research.
