Dr. Aziz Khan
Ambassador Stanford USA
Aziz is a research scientist at the Stanford Cancer Institute, Stanford University, where he develops reproducible pipelines and machine learning methods for integrative analysis of multi-omics data at bulk and single-cell resolution to understand tumor evolution and chromatin regulatory dynamics of tumor growth. At Stanford, he is also part of the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), which is a consortium to create a dynamic 3D map of human tumors to advance cancer research.
Aziz completed his Ph.D. in computational biology at Tsinghua University, China in 2016 followed by a three-year postdoctoral training at the University of Oslo, Norway. During Ph.D. and Postdoc, his primary research emphasis was on regulatory genomics and epigenomics. He developed computational methods, tools, and resources to understand the (epi)genomic control of gene regulation in development and disease.Apart from research, he is advocating for open science, open-source, preprints, and reproducibility in research. He is ASAPbio and eLife Community Ambassador and co-founded ECRcentral, a community initiative for early-career researchers.
