Welcome to Wang Research Group
We are based at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, within the School of Natural Science at Tougaloo College. Our team harnesses advanced machine learning and mathematical techniques to derive crucial biological insights from Nanopore long-sequencing data. We aim to transform complex sequence data into understandable biological narratives, uncovering the intricate dynamics of cellular processes and genetic structures.
