Chaochun Wei

Chaochun Wei is a Faculty member in the School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research focuses on genomics, including functional element identification, evolutionary genomics, pangenomics, metagenomics, and cancer genomics. He has published approximately 60 papers in prominent journals such as Nature and Nature Communications, with over 6000 citations. Wei has held positions as Professor and Associate Professor at the Department of Bioinformatics & Biostatistics since 2015. His work includes developing pan-genome analysis pipelines and contributing to large-scale genomic studies, such as the pangenome of rice and human genomes. He has also been involved in several national and municipal research projects.

Chaochun Wei is a bioinformatician at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, specializing in genomic analysis and computational biology. Their research focuses on genomic variation, pan-genome analysis, and the application of bioinformatics tools to study complex traits in crops and human genetics. Wei's work includes the development of platforms such as RPAN and HUPAN for pan-genome studies, as well as the analysis of microbiota interactions with host genetics and diet. They have contributed to understanding gene diversity in the human gut microbiome and the adaptation of organisms to environmental stressors like high-altitude hypoxia. Their research integrates sequencing technologies, gene prediction, and metagenomic analysis to advance genomic insights.
