He is also a faculty member of\u00a0 Tisch Cancer Institute, Black Family Stem Cell Institute, and Precision Immunology Institute. Prior to joining Mount Sinai, he was an Associate Professor at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute\/Harvard Medical School and a Principal Faculty member at Harvard Stem Cell Institute. He obtained a PhD degree in Mathematics from University of Maryland, where he studied the theory of chaotic dynamical systems. After graduation, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University and then briefly as a research scientist at National Centers for Environmental Prediction. He was attracted to genomics by the genomic revolution at around the millennium, and decided to switch field by taking up a postdoctoral fellow position at Harvard University. There, he helped build the first high-resolution, genome-scale nucleosome positioning map in eukaryotic cells and discovered a number of fundamental, evolutionarily conserved principles. Dr. Yuan&#8217;s Lab has developed numerous computational methods for analyzing and integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data and collaborated with experimental biologists and clinicians to gain systems-level insights into the cell-state control mechanisms in development and diseases. Dr. Yuan has been a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher since 2023.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notranslate ESMNde HGLrXd ojE3Fb\">\n<div class=\"q0vns\">\n<div class=\"notranslate ESMNde HGLrXd ojE3Fb\">\n<div class=\"q0vns\">\n<div class=\"eqA2re NjwKYd Vwoesf\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"CA5RN\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Guo-Cheng Yuan is a Professor of Computational Biology at Department of Genetics and Genomics at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
