Gang Wu, PhD
Wu
Gang Wu, PhD, St. Jude Center for Applied Bioinformatics director, uses statistical approaches to identify genetic variants contributing to disease. Wu’s research employs a multi-omics integrated approach to translate and analyze large volumes of data in meaningful ways to better understand normal development and molecular drivers or modifiers of disease. He also creates tools to analyze small cohorts’ genetics, finding ultra-rare disease variants.
