Welcome to my website! My name is Wenyu Zhang (张文宇). In 2006, I attended Soochow University, and got my bachlor's degree in Bioinformatics there four years later. Over there, I started my first scientific project "practical evaluation on the next-generation sequencing data analysis tools" as my undergraduate thesis, under the advisement of Prof. Bairong Shen. Afterwards, I continued my scientific research in the Center for Systems Biology of Soochow University (now become as the Insititutes for Systems Genetics in West China Hospital) as a PhD student. During the initial period of my PhD stage (2010-2013), my reserach focused on "the computational discovery of miRNA biomarkers for cancer diagnosis based on network analysis", under the advisement of Prof. Bairong Shen. For the rest 2 years in my PhD stage (2013-2015), I joined as a visiting student in the Department of Ecology and Evolution in The University of Chicago, under advisement of Prof. Manyuan Long. During that period, I received quite a lot of training (by attending courses and related seminars) in the fantastic area of evolutionary biology, especially in the field of molecular evolution and population genetics. Since then, I developed a strong interest and indulged myself deeply in the field of evolutionary biology. At that time, I conducted the second line of my PhD research with the topic of "the evolution of gene-gene interaction network from the view of new gene origination", while still using gene interaction network analysis as the main research methodology.
