Hayan Lee
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Genetics
Bio I am a postdoctoral scholar at Genetics Department, Stanford University. Before I moved to Stanford, I served as a Simons postdoctoral fellow at Joint Genome Institute (JGI). I have earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science Department at Stony Brook University. My dissertation is about ?Algorithms and applications in genome assembly using long read sequencing technology?, advised by Prof. Michael Schatz, Simons Center for Quantitative Biology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). I received my Master?s degree from Carnegie Mellon University. The master thesis was published at 70th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference. My undergraduate degree with Cum Laude was received at Seoul National University in Korea and worked for 4 years at AhnLab, Inc., where I programmed Windows kernel-level file system filter driver for V3 anti-virus program.
I am interested in developing methods (tools/software) using statistical machine learning and deep learning using clinical data and/or long reads produced by 3rd generation sequencing technology such as PacBio, Moleculo, Oxford Nanopore, etc. This includes de novo genome assembly, single cell, cancer data analysis, time series data analysis and population structure to analyze big data, infer critical factors, predict the future and discover biological importance. -
Jin Billy Li
Associate Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The Li Lab is primarily interested in RNA editing mediated by ADAR enzymes. We co-discovered that the major function of RNA editing is to label endogenous dsRNAs as "self" to avoid being recognized as "non-self" by MDA5, a host innate immune dsRNA sensor, leading us to pursue therapeutic applications in cancer, autoimmune diseases, and viral infection. The other major direction of the lab is to develop technologies to harness endogenous ADAR enzymes for site-specific transcriptome engineering.
