Yan Xu, PhD, focuses on developing and applying bioinformatics and systems biology approaches to gain a better understanding of molecular mechanisms behind lung development and disease. Her current lines of research center on the revealing of cell-cell communication, regulatory circuits, and networks controlling normal lung maturation and the pathogenesis of diseases using integrative single-cell omics approaches. She is also devoting her efforts to develop a web-based lung cell atlas (LGEA) to facilitate the maximal access and usage of the ever-growing omics data resources for the lung research community.
