 Hi, I am Haichao Wang, I am a computational biologist. 

I completed my PhD study at Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute (CRUK-CI), University of Cambridge. I am now a post-doc researcher at Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London. 

I work on cell-free DNA whole-genome sequencing data and develop machine-learning models for cancer detection. I am interested in building multi-modal machine-learning tools across various biochemical modalities with real-world impacts.

I am an R developer and a data visualisation enthusiast.

Study overview.

Mar 2024

I attended CNAPS2024 in Graz, Austria

I gave a poster talk about cfDNA whole-genome sequencing data analytical impacts and cfDNAPro R package - a one-stop solution for cfDNA fragmentomics. Stay updated about its coming paper manuscript.
