Jack Y. Yang is an American computer scientist and biophysicist. As of 2011, he is the editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design.
During this period he spent a few months at the CERN Institute. Yang was trained as a combined experimental and computer scientist with teaching, research, engineering, and in field practice in computer science, biomedical engineering and biophysics.
Career
Yang works in engineering and translational medicine, with research interests ranging from cancer homeostasis, computational drug development, high throughput biology, database maintenance and microfluidomics applied to microarray proteomics. He specializes in cancer biology and artificial intelligence.
He is an honorary editor for the International Journal of Functional Informatics and Personalized Medicine and editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design, together with partial appointments in Nature and Science, where he contributes regular revisions and comments. He has also been an editor of more than a dozen journals and proceedings books including the Journal of Supercomputing.
He was the general chair of the IEEE 7th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering at Harvard Medical School and Co-PI of several grants form the National Science Foundation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the National Institute of Health. He is also a consultant to Interlink Continental Journal of Biological Sciences, MIR labs, and the International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology.
