Senior🎓
Top SchoolXiaohui Zhao is a senior bioinformatician and translational data scientist based in Cambridge with eight years of experience building scalable, reproducible multi-omics pipelines that bridge bench science and clinical research. She has led data infrastructure and Nextflow/HPC workflow development for projects spanning bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, epigenomics, CyTOF and clinical datasets, contributing to high-impact publications in Nature-family journals. Her work focuses on immune modulation in cardiovascular disease and developmental biology, translating complex datasets into mechanistic and clinical insights through close collaboration with clinicians and wet-lab teams. Xiaohui combines strong statistical training (PhD in Statistics) with practical expertise in information governance and pseudonymised clinical data management to ensure robust, auditable analyses. She also mentors students and delivers training, helping embed reproducible practices across research groups. Outside the lab she balances analytical rigor with hands-on hobbies—jogging, cooking and tending an allotment—which she credits with keeping problem-solving fresh and grounded.
