Area of Interest
The lab of Jeremy Wang, PhD, applies high-performance computational methods and novel high-throughput sequencing approaches to advance precision personalized medicine with a focus on molecular diagnostics in cancer and infectious diseases.
The lab broadly aims to develop, validate, and implement nanopore sequencing-based molecular diagnostic tools enabling comprehensive genomic characterization of pediatric and adult cancers.
Current work focuses on using low-cost nanopore RNA- and DNA-sequencing to enable comprehensive molecular characterization of pediatric acute leukemias and solid tumors in low-resource settings where traditional diagnostic infrastructure is unavailable.
Making a meaningful contribution to personalized medicine requires highly collaborative multidisciplinary science. As such, the lab works closely with clinical, translational, basic science, and computational collaborators at UNC and around the world.
