    BioDr. Tan is a computational biologist developing innovative tools to quantify cell identity, enhance stem cell engineering, and dissect cancer heterogeneity. During her Ph.D., she specialized in computational and quantitative analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, contributing to multiple high-impact publications. As a postdoctoral researcher, she has advanced the integration of single-cell omics with multiplexed imaging to decode high-dimensional tissue architecture in cancer and psychiatric diseases. Her long-term vision is to leverage multi-omics and develop machine learning techniques for both 2D and 3D analysis to uncover how diverse cell types and their interactions shape development, aging, and disease.

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur current work has two branches. Branch #1 is building a quantitative and predictive understanding of how neutrophils initiate and complete NETosis. Branch #2 is identifying the molecular and biophysical mechanisms that regulate high deformability in neutrophils. These branches converge onto understanding and harnessing the impact of nuclear biophysics on immune cell functions to re-engineer neutrophils for improved health.
