Rong Fan is the Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University. His research focuses on the development and deployment of single-cell spatial omics technologies to study human tissue function in normal physiology, aging, and disease. He developed the single-cell 42-plex cytokine assay, a state-of-the-art method for measuring single-cell protein secretion with the highest multiplexing capabilities. Fan also conceived and demonstrated 'spatial multi-omics' sequencing, introducing a novel approach named deterministic barcoding of tissue (DBiT), which maps the whole transcriptome and ~300 proteins pixel-by-pixel within fixed tissue sections. His groundbreaking work has opened new dimensions in spatial omics, such as spatial epigenomics, and has led to advancements in spatial profiling techniques for various RNA species. His innovations are applied in studies of human and mouse brain development, neuroinflammation, cellular senescence, tumor progression, and cardiovascular diseases. Fan is recognized for his contributions to biomedical research and is a fellow of multiple prestigious academies, reflecting his impact in the field.
