Dr. Qinan Hu is a Research Assistant Professor at SUSTech School of Medicine. He earned his Ph.D. degree at Cornell University in 2020. His research interests focus on investigation of tissue development and tumor precision medicine using system biology. His research areas include dissection of Drosophila development and disease models with high-resolution spatial transcriptomics, and development and application of single-cell multi-omic techniques in tumor cell drug response heterogeneity. His research has been published journals including Developmental Cell, PNAS, etc. He hosts one NSFC Young Scientists Fund.
