「应可钧」Kejun Albert Ying

Solve aging first, and with time, we'll solve all remaining challenges of humanity.

Hello! I’m a PhD candidate at Harvard Medical School, Vadim Gladyshev lab. I’ve also received a M.Sc. in Computational Science and Engineering from Harvard SEAS. My research interests include aging and omics, with a focus on the cause of aging, epigenetics, metabolism, and multi-omics. I’m also interested in machine learning and protein design. I will be co-mentored by David Baker at UW and Tony Wyss-Coray at Stanford University as a postdoc fellow in 2025.
