About the reviewers

Cho-Yi Chen is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the National Yang-Ming University. While growing up, he was an active athlete, with a passion for science and technology, which led him to become an Olympic swimmer and later a scientist in genomics and systems biology. He received his BSc, MSc, and PhD from the National Taiwan University and Academia Sinica, and finished his postdoctoral training at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard University. He is a founding member of Taiwan's Society of Evolution and Computational Biology, and is a recipient of the MOST Young Scholar Fellowship for his dedication to biomedical research. He and his group strive to advance our understanding of cancer and other human diseases.

Pin-Jou Wu is a research assistant in Dr. Cho-Yi Chen's laboratory at the Institute of Biomedical Informatics at National Yang-Ming University, Taiwan. Her research interests lie in circadian rhythm and its relation to human aging and diseases. She enjoys multi-omics data mining by using statistics and machine learning approaches and enjoys discovering a new insight into chronobiology.

She was a research assistant at Tainan District Agriculture Research and Extension Station. She completed her Master's degree in Plant Pathology and Microbiology at National Taiwan University and also completed a full-year exchange program doing a Master's of Science degree at University College Dublin, Ireland.

Yao-Chung Chen is a bioinformatician with a background in molecular biology. After receiving his MS from National Taiwan University, he participated in a transcriptome analysis research project on immune systems in commercial fishes at National Pingtung University of Science and Technology. Previous research experience makes him believe that biologists should know more about programming, especially those who aim to work in bioinformatics.

Aiming to be a pioneer, he wishes to interpret bioinformatics in a more biology-friendly way and encourage more biologists to join this field. Currently, he works as a research assistant and studies chronobiology at the Institute of Biomedical Informatics, National Yang-Ming University.
