Qihang Zou

Qihang Zou earned his B.S. in Biotechnology from Shandong University in 2022. He developed Cisformer, a computational framework for cross-modality translation between scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq data. Cisformer is designed to bridge transcriptional profiles and chromatin accessibility patterns, enabling single-cell–resolution analysis of gene regulatory mechanisms. His current research focuses on developing single-cell–based tissue aging clocks to dissect relative aging rates across tissues at the gene level. He is also broadly interested in applying AI-driven approaches to aging biology and in discovering novel therapeutic strategies for aging-related diseases.
