Researcher
Yue Wan received her PhD degree in cancer biology from Stanford University, US, under the mentorship of Howard Y. Chang, where she developed a high-throughput method for probing genome-wide RNA structures. She is currently a Principal Investigator at the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS). She was previously a Society in Science-Branco Weiss Fellow, an EMBO Young Investigator and a CIFAR-Azrieli Global Scholar. In 2015, she was honoured with the Young Scientist Award at the President’s Science and Technology Awards in Singapore, followed by the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science, Singapore National Fellowship in 2016. Wan’s research focuses on functional RNA structures and their roles in cellular biology regulation.
