Qidi Feng is a postdoctoral fellow in the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute, advised by both Dr. Hailiang Huang and Dr. Tian Ge. She finished my Ph.D. study in Chinese Academy of Sciences. Qidi’s research interests focus on copy number variation (cnv) architecture of schizophrenia in East Asian populations. They especially want to […]
Lerato Majara is a Postdoctoral fellow in Alicia Martin’s lab. She has a background in Medical Microbiology having completed her undergraduate and MSc degrees in this field. She slightly shifted fields to pursue a PhD in Human Genetics at the University of Cape Town (UCT). Her PhD thesis investigated the genetic risk factors associated with […]
Soyeon is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Dr. Hailiang Haung’s lab at ATGU and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. She earned her Ph.D. in Digital Health from Sungkyunkwan University, where she studied psychiatric genetics by leveraging genome-wide association studies and whole-exome sequencing data analysis. Her primary interest is investigating the genetic architecture of […]
Yixuan (pronounced yi-shwin) is a postdoctoral research fellow in Dr. Alicia Martin’s lab. She did her PhD in Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics at Harvard Medical School as a NSF graduate research fellow. Her PhD thesis focused on new methods to integrate environmental and clinical data to predict disease risk. She is broadly interested in developing methods […]
Ying is a postdoctoral research fellow in Dr. Alicia Martin’s lab. She did her PhD in statistical/quantitative genetics at the University of Queensland. During her PhD, she worked on the application of genomic prediction methods in diverse ancestry populations and development of such methods to improve transferability of polygenic scores in trans-ancestry predictions. She has […]
Kai Yuan is a postdoctoral fellow in the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute, advised by Dr. Hailiang Huang. He obtained his PhD in computational biology from the Partner Institute for Computational Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. During his PhD training, he worked on population genetics, especially for the admixed populations and developed several […]
Cal is a research fellow who joined the ATGU in March 2022, where he is co-advised by Drs. Benjamin Neale and Michael Talkowski. Cal completed a Ph.D. in Human Genetics from McGill University, focusing on identifying novel genetic and molecular insights for neuropsychiatric disorders. He is excited to investigate the genetics of bipolar disorder and […]
Julia is a research fellow who joined ATGU in May 2022. She completed a PhD in Human Genetics from Vanderbilt University where she studied the relationship between depression polygenic scores and lab traits extracted from electronic health records. As a research fellow in the Neale lab, she will be working on rare variant analysis of […]
Franjo is a research fellow at ATGU and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. They are advised by Benjamin Neale and co-advised by Jeremiah Scharf. Franjo recently completed a Ph.D. in genetics and genomics at the University of Florida, where they studied the genetic architecture of neurodevelopmental disorders like Tourette syndrome and OCD. Their […]
Yan Xia is a Research Fellow in Hailiang Huang’s lab. Yan’s research focuses on studying the genetic regulation for complex disorders, especially dissection of psychiatric disorders. She is interesting in epigenetic regulation, especially the DNA methylation quantitive trait loci in East Asian population. […]
