Mi Yang
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Oncology
BioI am a bioinformatics scientist working in cancer immunotherapy. Originally trained as a pharmacist, I then did a PhD in machine learning applied to cancer drug screenings. My main areas of interest are: cancer immunotherapy and drug discovery. I am currently developing a reverse translational framework for drug discovery in DLBCL and building an interaction network to capture tumor microenvironment signaling and cell cell interactions. My overarching goal is to develop new immunotherapies for cancer and make the drug development process more efficient, rational and data driven.
