About me

I am Yue Gu, a recently graduated Ph.D. at the University of Texas School of Public Health and MD Anderson Cancer Center from Texas Medical Center in Houston. Over the past several years, I worked at MD Anderson Cancer Center to study the genomic mechanism of Cancer. Under the mentorship of Drs. John Paul Shen, Luis Leon-Novelo, and Traver Hart, I designed and developed a simulation framework to model the dynamics of cell growth with genetic interactions in CRISPR screening, which formed the core basis of my dissertation research.
