Ashley Tsang

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

My research focus lies in developing multi-modal and spatial informatics methods for understanding the tumor microenvironment and drivers of response to therapies.

Please reach out if you’d like to chat further!
