Biography
Xiyu Peng is an Assistant Professor of biostatistics and bioinformatics in the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University. Her research interests lie at the interface of statistics and biomedical sciences (genomics, proteomics, and immuno-oncology). Her methodological research is mainly inspired by collaborative research where challenges arise in real data analysis and novel computational and statistical methods are heavily demanded. Her current research projects focus on resolving temporal and spatial dynamics in single-cell omics data with main application in immuno-oncology.
Before joining TAMU, Xiyu Peng received full postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She got her Ph.D. in Bioinformatics and Statistics from Iowa State University.
