Yuanqing Feng (冯园庆)

I am a Research Associate at the University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on uncovering the genetic mechanisms underlying human evolution, phenotypic diversity, and disease susceptibility, with particular emphasis on the role of non-coding variants in human traits and diseases. With expertise in population genetics, functional genomics, and bioinformatics, I have developed an integrative approach that utilizes cutting-edge technologies including MPRA, Hi-C, and CRISPR genome editing to efficiently identify functional mutations and their target genes, contributing novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of human complex traits. Before joining UPenn, I received my PhD in Molecular Medicine from Peking University (2017) and BS in Biology from Jilin University (2011).
