Ya Han

Ya received her Bachelor’s degree in Bioinformatics from Harbin Medical University in 2018 and completed her Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at Tongji University in 2024. During her doctoral studies, she developed a pan-cancer tumor immune single-cell database, and identified profibrotic mechanisms that shape tumor immunity. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Wang Lab, where her research focuses on developing spatial-domain algorithms based on tumor-related spatiotemporal data and applying them to pan-cancer datasets to investigate tumor microenvironment heterogeneity and responses to immunotherapy. Her work has been supported by the Shanghai Super Postdoctoral Program and the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation. She has published as (co-)first author in high-impact journals, including Nature Cancer, Nucleic Acids Research, and Genome Medicine.
