Dr. Weitao Lin is an early-mid career cancer biologist with a PhD in Cancer Biology from the University of Hong Kong, awarded in 2017. He joined Edith Cowan University as a postdoctoral research fellow from 2018 to 2022 and is currently a Research Fellow and wet-lab lead at the Systems Biology Genomics Laboratory (Forrest Lab) at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and the University of Western Australia. Dr. Lin has a strong track record in cancer research and possesses 13 years of experience in primary tissue culture using tumor samples, contributing significantly to the research community with fundamental models for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Epstein-Barr virus. During his PhD training, he was the first author on a publication in Nature Communications. His current project, funded by the Cancer Council Western Australia, focuses on the analysis of uveal melanoma tumors, allowing him to develop expertise in single-cell analyses to study the tumor microenvironment. In recognition of his work, Dr. Lin was awarded the Spatial Pioneers Fellowship Visium Spatial Biology Kickstarter Award from 10x Genomics, which enables him to lead the use of advanced spatial platforms to study tumor microenvironments. He serves on various committees and has supervised PhD students while engaging in collaborative research.
