Dr. Yihui Zhu received her PhD in Integrative Genetics and Genomics with the Designated Emphasis in Biotechnology at the University of California, Davis. Her dissertation research investigated perinatal epigenetics signatures of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) including the identification and initial characterization of a novel environmentally responsive ASD risk gene, NHIP relevant to brain development in a hitherto under-characterized region, 22q13.33 of the human genome using placenta methylome. She is currently a Scientist, Applied Bioinformatics at 10x Genomics, where she experiences analyzing data from single-cell ATAC-seq, single-cell multiome (ATAC and gene expression), and in situ technology.
