ABOUT ME

My name is Richard Dong, a Ph.D student in Medical Biophysics at the University of Toronto, Canada. I used to live in Shanghai, China, and moved to Toronto, Canada when I was 14 years old.

I majored in Medical Physics and minored in Biology and Bioinformatics during my undergraduate study at the University of Waterloo, and am excited about how to utilize biological data to answer big questions in biology. I am fluent in Python and Linux commands, as well as a variety of bioinformatics and genomic tools for single-cell transcriptomic analysis.
