National Second Prize and Shanghai Regional First Prize.
Undergraduate researcher in the Sun Yadong Lab, studying the structure and function of protein-RNA complexes using structural biology techniques (cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography). Gained expertise in plasmid construction, cell transfection, protein expression and purification.
One of the primary code contributors for an independent experimental project in the Genetics laboratory course. The system uses a two-stage deep-learning pipeline (object detection + classification) to automatically detect Drosophila and classify wing phenotypes (long / short wing).
github.com/xiangyuw1/FlyCropperResponsible for the design and execution of the biochemistry experimental component of this independent project in the Cell Biology laboratory course, investigating the inhibitory effects of mTORC1 inhibitors on multiple cancer cell lines.
A comprehensive Python chi-square calculator covering the majority of statistical computation problems encountered in genetics courses, including goodness-of-fit tests, contingency table tests (with optional Yates' correction), and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium tests. Inspired by and originally initiated by github.com/SiyuanMa42.
