Compbio Wizard Lab @ MD Anderson

The Compbio Wizard Group, led by Dr. Ye Zheng, is a dynamic hybrid research team (Meet our team) combining computational and experimental approaches. Our hybrid lab consists of a computational dry lab and a wet lab, both housed within the Department of Systems Biology at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Our group specializes in addressing biologically and clinically significant challenges through innovative statistical models, advanced computational methods, and integrative multi-omics data analysis. Our research spans diverse topics, including epigenomics, 3D genomics, proteomics, and their applications in cancer studies, CAR-T cell immunotherapies, and other disease systems. The wet lab focuses on epigenomic profiling of FFPE samples, unraveling gene regulation mechanisms across human cancers, as highlighted in our latest study.

Join Our Lab

We are recruiting Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows for wet lab and dry lab research in computational cancer biology.

  • Graduate Research Assistantships for Ph.D. students, with or without seeking dissertation mentorship (Houston local, other United States institutions)
  • Research Internships for Ph.D. students (on-site)
  • Postdoctoral Fellows (on-site)

Explore our hiring projects and application requirements in AI pathology, cancer epigenomics, and 3D chromatin organization and gene regulation.

Who Should Apply:

  • Candidates with backgrounds in statistics, computer science, engineering, computational biology, quantitative science, or bioinformatics
  • Wet lab researchers with expertise in epigenomics and CUT&RUN/CUT&Tag/ATAC-seq/single-cell/spatial chromatin biology assays; a cancer research background can be a plus
  • Computational researchers with experience developing new computational or statistical models, algorithms, and software

If you’re excited to contribute to cutting-edge research in computational cancer biology, we would love to hear from you!

Colleagues! We are also open to collaboration!
