Big Data Biology Lab Alumni

Amy Houseman (undergraduate student)

(Sept 2019-June 2020)

Huayu Qin (postdoctoral researcher)

(Jul. 2020—Jan 2021)

Huayu holds his PhD degree from Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The research was based on applying epicPCR and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to microbiota and sulfate-reducing prokaryotes for obtaining diversity, evolution and environmental interactions. During his PhD, he was sponsored as Newton scholar to visit Imperial College London in UK for a project about global climate and microbes. Previously he did his Master of Philosophy in Biochemistry and Biomolecular Sciences from Macquarie University, Australia and investigated into a biocontrol strain Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 by gene knock-out and oligonucleotide microarray. He is highly experienced in wet lab techniques in fileds of molecular biology and microbiology. His main interests now include bioinformatics and computational analysis on global distribution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
