Ashley Tsang

Hello! I am a first-year PhD student in the Bioinformatics program at the University of Michigan. Previously, I attended Johns Hopkins University, where I obtained a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science, and M.S.E in Biomedical Engineering.

My research interests lie in developing methods that leverage multi-modal biological data to improve cancer research and treatment.
