Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYin Chew is an Assistant Professor and computational systems biologist with 11 years’ experience building multiscale, hybrid models that connect gene networks, metabolism, biomechanics and physiology for applications in healthcare and bioengineering. Trained as a chemical and bioprocess engineer and holding a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, she developed the Arabidopsis Framework Model linking circadian regulation to whole-plant growth and later prototyped a whole-cell model of human embryonic stem cells from multi-omics data at Mount Sinai. Her work spans reaction-diffusion simulation of single-cell metabolism to hybrid gene–mechanics models that reveal emergent behaviors and therapeutic implications. Based in Birmingham, she combines computational tool development with hands-on pipeline engineering and a track record of translating mechanistic insight into digital tools for biodesign. Colleagues describe her as a teacher and collaborator who thrives on mentoring visionary, diverse young researchers.
