Hi! I am a Master’s student in Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University (expected 2026).

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Bioinformatics from the Zhejiang University - University of Edinburgh Joint Institute in 2024.

Research Interest

My academic focus lies in addressing biomedical challenges through AI, Machine Learning and bioinformatics analysis, including but not limited to Virtual Cells, Biological Agent and Foundation models. I am also deeply interested in developing advanced algorithmns to unravel the complexities of Genomics and Proteomics.

Collaborations

I am currently working with Prof. Carl Kingsford and Prof. Wei Wu at Carnegie Mellon University

Before joining Carnegie Mellon University, I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Prof. Christine Orengo at University College London, exploring the application of Deep Learning on enzyme design and protein function prediction.

In addition, I’ve had the privilege of working with Dr. Chaochen Wang at Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh and Dr. Jing Xue, studying the important functions of Med12 in pancreatic cancer.

Personal Interests

• Photograph: I am currently using Canon G7X Mark III to record the great views on my journey and nice photos with my friends and families. I am also interests in astronomical photography. I captured a nice picture of the C/2023 A3 comet at Pittsburgh. Welcome to add my Instagram (shijaytang) to take a look!
