Peiran LinPhD Student @ Westlake University

πŸ‘‹ About Me

Hi there! I’m Peiran Lin (θ”ΊεŸΉη„Ά), a fresh PhD student at the School of Life Sciences, Westlake University.

Right now, I’m diving into science at the Artificial Intelligence & Computational Biology Lab (Zeng Jianyang),
while rotating through the Cell Biology Lab (Prof. Hongtao Yu) and the AI Research & Innovation Lab (Prof. Ziqing Li).

πŸŽ“ I got my bachelor’s degree from Shandong University, majoring in both Biology and Computer Science & Technology.

πŸ”¬ My current research passions include:

  • Designing AI algorithms for single-cell spatial omics
  • Building large language models for cellular perturbations (a.k.a. virtual organs)
  • Exploring bioinformatics, toxicology, and microbiology
