Anyou Wang

Graduated from the University of California, Riverside, Dr. Wang is passionate about computational biology, big data, and AI  (combai.org). He develops computational algorithms to extract fundamental insights from large-scale biological data. He is a pioneer in utilizing the world’s largest database to discover that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have their own functional system distinctive from  protein counterpart, which help to explain how ncRNAs act as key players in various physiological states. Dr. Wang further uncover  ncRNAs as primary players in all cancers and as evolutionary drivers of lifespan across animal species, challenging the traditional protein-centric paradigm. Additionally, he has developed innovative algorithms to systematically uncover SARS-CoV-2  evolutionary trajectory and origins, which contributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.
