Principal Investigator
Wenliang Wang, PhD
Assistant Professor
School of Life Science and Technology
ShanghaiTech University
Dr. Wang is a computational and experimental epigenomicist whose research focuses on understanding gene regulation in brain and immune cells at single-cell resolution. His lab applies cutting-edge single-cell technologies — including scATAC-seq, single-nucleus methylation sequencing, and 3D genomics — to dissect the epigenomic mechanisms of Alzheimer's Disease and neuroimmune interactions. Prior to starting the Bridge-AD Lab, he was trained in epigenomics of immune cells and brain cells as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Pennsylvania (Vahedi Lab) and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies (Ecker Lab). Besides science, he is a marathon and triathlon enthusiast.

Puxi Wang
Master Student
School of Life Science and Technology
ShanghaiTech University
I am Wang Puxi, a graduate student in Biology at ShanghaiTech University. My research uses computational methods to analyze multi-omics data. I build bioinformatic pipelines to process large-scale, high-dimensional datasets. I am motivated by solving technical challenges and using these tools to find unexpected biological patterns. My primary interest is identifying anomalies and outliers in data that contradict established assumptions or uncover novel biological insights, allowing me to extract hidden mechanisms from biological noise.
