Yuxuan currently works in Wilfried Haerty’s group as a postdoc. Her work focuses on the analysis of long and short read data arising from single cell sequencing with the aim of characterising the impact of cellular heterogeneity (somatic mutations, different cell types) on gene and transcript regulation in mouse and human.
Previously Yuxuan was a postdoctoral research scientist in the Core Bioinformatics Group. Her focus was on single cell RNA-seq, including the development and running of data QC pipelines and data analysis, both with close collaboration with the Macaulay Group. She was also involved in data QC for the Technical Genomics at Earlham Institute.
She has also worked in Anthony Hall’s group, studying epigenetics in wheat; and in Richard Leggett’s group on Nanopore selective sequencing.
She has an undergraduate degree in Electronic Engineering, and a MSc and PhD in Computing Sciences.
Before joining Earlham Institute, Yuxuan was a senior research associate at the School of Computing Sciences, University of East Anglia, working in area of computer lipreading, audio-visual speech processing and machine learning.
