Hao Lv Ph.D. Associate Professor

I am a lecturer of Center for Informational Biology and the Key Laboratory for NeuroInformation of Ministry of Education in UESTC (Supervisor: Hao Lin). I mainly focused on developing machine learning/deep learning tools for identifying DNA, RNA, and protein modification sites. Currently, I am interested in developing computational pipeline to generate embedding and identify cell types from single-cell Hi-C data.
