Shiquan Sun, Ph.D.
Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Key Laboratory of Trace Elements and Endemic Diseases of National Health and Family Planning Commission
School of Public Health
Xi’an Jiaotong University, Health Science Center
RESEARCH INTEREST
I am interested in developing statistical methods and computational tools for large-scale/high-dimensional functional genomic studies, including bulk and single cell RNA sequencing analysis, bisulfite sequencing analysis, and spatially resolved transcriptomics analysis.
Research Areas: Bioinformatics; Statistical Methods for Genomics; Machine Learning.
EDUCATION AND TRANING
Before joining Xi’an Jiaotong University, he was an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Northwestern Polytechnical University. He received his postdoc training in Xiang Zhou’s lab in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Michigan. He obtained his PhD degrees at Xi’an Jiaotong University, where his was advised by Qinke Peng. He was trained as both a biostatistician and a computer scientist.
