My name is Yang Yang. I am Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I am interested in developing machine learning-based algorithms and software for biological data analysis and biomedical information processing.
We design machine learning algorithms for the annotation, clustering, and segmentation of biomedical images, including spatial gene expression images, cryo-EM single-particle images, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence microscopic images, etc.
We regard biological sequences (DNA/RNA sequences and amino acid sequences) as a special kind of language, and explore biomolecular structure and functions based on sequence analysis using statistical language models, word embeddings, and deep learning models.
