Ang Li

Ang is a postdoctoral researcher in statistical genetics in the Wray group at the Big Data Institute and Department of Psychiatry.

Ang’s main research is genetic method development (integrating GWAS and single-cell level omics data to help understanding pathogenesis of brain diseases and improve polygenic risk score prediction etc.) and applications to understand genetic architecture for complex traits, esp. brain relevant diseases and genetic impact on developing brain. Ang also works with Prof. Paul Harrison and Dr. Nicola Hall on investigation of gene expression in human brain with long-reads sequence. 

Prior to joining the University of Oxford, Ang received her PhD in statistical/quantitative genetics in June 2024 from the University of Queensland (Australia), where she worked on gene based method development and methods to integrate GWAS and scRNA-seq data. She still has close collaborations with Dr. Jian Zeng as honorary fellow of University of Queensland.
