Chenfei Wang

Chenfei Wang is a Professor in the Department of Bioinformatics at Tongji University and an adjunct fellow at the Sycamore Research Institute of Life Sciences in Shanghai. He earned his BS and PhD in Bioinformatics from Tongji University, where he uncovered the epigenetic reprogramming mechanisms that regulate embryonic development through the integration of large-scale epigenome data. He completed his postdoctoral training with Xiaole Shirley Liu at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where he developed algorithms for the integrated analysis of single-cell multi-omic data. His current research focuses on developing computational algorithms and conducting large-scale data mining of single-cell multiomic data to unravel the intricate mechanisms of gene regulation and cellular crosstalk that define cell identities and tissue architectures. By employing AI models on large-scale single-cell spatial multi-omic data, he aims to establish quantitative connections between cell identity and changes in tissue architecture linked to human disease phenotypes, ultimately translating this knowledge into clinical applications.
