Chunlei Wu
Bio
Chunlei Wu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Integrative, Structural and Computational Biology at the Scripps Research Institute. Prior to joining Scripps in July 2011, he was the Research Investigator II at the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) in San Diego, CA. Chunlei originally joined TSRI as a member of the Su Lab, but has since become a principal investigator of his own lab and now has his own site at http://wulab.io. Chunlei and Andrew continue to work together in a highly open and collaborative manner. Because of his integral role as a collaborator and pioneering researcher, most members of the Su Lab are also members of the Wu lab and vice versa.
