Dr. Angli Xue is a Postdoc Scientist and inaugural NHMRC Investigator Fellow (2025-2029) in Powell Lab at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. His current research is focused on identifying the genetic control of gene expression variability at the single-cell level. To achieve this goal, he is developing novel statistical methods for single-cell eQTL mapping and applying them to the OneK1K cohort which contains gene expression profiles of 1.2 million peripheral blood mononuclear cells ...
