Dr. Yingxue Ren is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics in the Department of Quantitative Health Sciences at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. Dr. Ren’s research focuses on developing and applying novel bioinformatics approaches to translational science to help identify novel disease risk factors and therapeutic targets, specifically for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Ren’s expertise is omics analysis of disease models, including whole exome and genome sequencing, bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, cell type deconvolution, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, as well as multiomics integration. Dr. Ren’s research will enable the discovery and validation of novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
