Jiahao Huang

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Chemical Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working with Prof. Xiao Wang. My research focuses on AI for Science, spatial transcriptomics, biomedical imaging, and production-grade tooling for computational biology.

Previously, I worked as an Associate Computational Biologist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, where I developed analysis pipelines for spatial transcriptomics and contributed to creating spatial atlases of the mouse central nervous system.

My work spans developing end-to-end analysis toolkits for spatial transcriptomics (Starfinder), spatially resolved single-cell translatomics (RIBOmap), and integrative in-situ mapping of the brain (STARmap PLUS).

I am also interested in large language models, agentic systems, and data/figure automation.
