Xueqiu Lin, PhD

Computational biologist Dr. Xueqiu Lin’s lab focuses on developing cutting-edge computational and experimental approaches to uncover interactive rules within these regulatory networks and to understand the functional consequences of non-coding mutations. She focuses on the development of multiplexed CRISPR screening to study the functional interaction network of enhancers, or transcription factors. The use of this approach, combined with deep learning and statistical modeling, can reveal the genetic codes, discover novel genetic biomarkers and develop more accurate genomic risk prediction schemes for precision cancer medicine. She was also named as a STAT Wunderkind in 2023 for “shining a light on the general principles of gene expression.”
