Biography

Yanxiang Deng focuses on developing and applying new technologies to understand complex biological systems. His research is centered on spatial omics profiling at the cellular level, where he is developing new tools at the intersection of microchip technology, microscopy, genomics, and computational analysis. This work aims to profile the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome in the spatial context of tissues and cells. Deng's novel technologies significantly enhance the ability to study tissue complexity, revealing key features of tissue architecture, physiology, and disease. He explores complex biological processes with an emphasis on the importance of spatial information in the original tissue context for a mechanistic understanding of biological processes and disease pathogenesis. His scientific contributions include significant publications that advance the field of spatial epigenomics and cellular profiling.
