Cheong Xin Chan
Dr Chan has a PhD in Genomics and Computational Biology from UQ. He underwent postdoctoral training at Rutgers University (USA) in algal genomics and evolution. He returned to UQ in late 2011 as one of the inaugural Great Barrier Reef Foundation Bioinformatics Fellows. Dr Chan joined UQ's School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences in 2020 as a group leader at the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics (ACE). His group uses advanced computational approaches to study genome evolution and develop scalable approaches for comparative genomics, with a strong focus on eukaryotic microbes. His group is interested in the evolution of genomes in response to the organism's adaptation to changing environments, and the genetic capacity of symbiotic partners in sustaining a functional ecological unit.
