Jun Ni (Jenny) Du

Jenny is an undergraduate student at UofT, studying bioinformatics & computational biology and computer science. She is joining Dr. Felsky's lab as a research course student, focusing on the association between copy number variation and Alzheimer’s disease.

Previously, Jenny was a research student at the Hospital for Sick Children, where she evaluated a novel catalogue-free genome-wide repeat expansion detection tool against existing tools and identified confounding factors that contribute to the reliability of the outputs. She is interested in the development of novel bioinformatic tools for better disease diagnosis and treatments.
