Shi Laboratory

Bioinformatics and Transcriptomics

Welcome to the Shi Lab

Our lab develops innovative computational methods to enhance the analysis of omics data, including transcriptomics, and applies these methods to address biological and medical research challenges.

We're part of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, and a member of the Immunity and Cancer Programs,

and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
