About Me

My name is Yang Yang. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I am interested in developing machine learning-based algorithms and software for biological data analysis and biomedical information processing.

Research Interests

  • Computational molecular biology

We study computational problems regarding both protein-coding and non-coding genes. For coding genes, we predict subcellular localizations, type III secreted proteins and structual properties through sequence analysis and knowledge extraction from public databases.
For non-coding genes, we focus on the identification of certain types of non-coding RNAs, and differential expression analysis for microRNAs with microarray or deep sequencing data.

  • Biomedical information processing

We design algorithms to screen tumor biomarkers efficiently and reliably. Now we are particularly interested in identifying microRNA biomarkers, and microRNA-disease associations.

  • Machine learning and data mining

We develop algorithms to deal with large scale, imbalanced and multi-label problems, mainly from the biomedical field.
