Lin Kang, PhD
Associate Professor for Biostatistics & Genetics
Research Interests
My research interests include bioinformatics, genetics, genomics, computational biology, evolutionary biology, and cancer-related research. My research focuses on analyzing different kinds of genomic and transcriptomic data including those related to cancer and other diseases using the technologies of next-generation sequencing and third-generation sequencing (such as Oxford Nanopore), developing new tools/pipelines, and using comparative genomics tools to understand evolution and disease development in a systemic perspective. My capabilities are mostly computational and biostatistical.
