Yumeng (Alan) Zhang

Hi! I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Monash University.

I am supervised by Prof. Jiangning Song and Prof. Tony Purcell. Standing at the intersection of advanced AI techniques and Biomedicine, I am working on developing cutting-edge computational biology approaches to tackle fundamental immunology questions like T cell receptor-antigen recognition.

Before traveling to Australia, I obatined my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in Bioinformatics. Guided by Prof. Hong-Yu Ou, my postgraduate research focused on mining secreted effectors from Gram-negative bacterial genomes. I also worked as a research intern at Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 2021.
