Song Cao, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine
After obtaining my Ph.D in Physics, I dedicated several years to studying RNA folding. Now, I have shifted my focus to cancer genomics, cancer proteomics, and cancer virology. Throughout my career, I have developed multiple models and pipelines across various spectra of the bioinformatics field. For instance, I created the Vfold model, which accurately predicts RNA’s two and three-dimensional structures. I also designed the VirusScan pipeline, capable of detecting viruses from NGS data. Additionally, I developed the Somaticwrapper and Germlinewrapper pipelines, which identify somatic and germline variants, respectively. Moreover, I designed the MiSplice pipeline, which detects mutation-induced splice sites, and the 10Xmapping pipeline for mapping variants to single-cell RNA-Seq data. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as gardening, fishing, running, and hiking.
