Sensitivity and consistency of long-and short-read metagenomics and epicPCR for the detection of antibiotic resistance genes and their bacterial hosts in wastewater
Dr. Yilei Fu
PhD student from September 2019 through January 2024
Dr. Fu is currently a postdoctoral scientist in the Sedlazeck lab at BCM HGSC. Dr. Fu received his Ph.D. from Rice University in December 2023. Previously, Yilei (4th year PhD student) obtained B.E. degrees in Computer Science and Technology from Harbin Institute of Technology, China. During his undergraduate procedure, he receive National People’s Scholorship for 3 times. In the meantime, he also worked on detecting SV(structure variation) on human genomes using third generation sequencing data. His research interest can be briefly discribed as exploring gene-carried information using third/next generation sequencing data.
Dr. Qi Wang
PhD student from September 2018 through January 2022 (currently Sr. Bioinformatics Scientist at Illumina)
Dr. Wang is a Bioinformatics Scientist at Illumina, and finished her PhD in the Treangen Lab December 2021. Previously, Dr. Wang obtained B.S. degrees in Biotechnology from Hong Kong Baptist University and MS in Biotechnology from Northwestern University. During her undergraduate, she did research in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Capital Medical University, focusing on using bioinformatics and experimental approaches to solve various life science problems, including synthetic biology, developmental biology, oncology and drug discovery. Her interest is to improve human health and environment by understanding complex biology data.
