Fei was born in California and raised in Janesville, California, and later Coquille, Oregon. [1] At birth she was placed for adoption by LDS Family Services. [2] She was reunited with her birth mother, Brooke Hemming, while in graduate school. Her birth mother is also in the sciences as a Senior Physical Scientist with the Environmental Protection Agency. [3] Fei is an advocate for LGBTQ Mormons and has served on the steering committee for Mormons Building Bridges and the ally committee for the organization Affirmation: LGBT Mormons, Families & Friends. [4]
Fei obtained degrees in computer science and biochemistry from Oregon State University and earned a PhD in biomedical informatics from Oregon Health & Science University. Her dissertation title is "Integrating Genetics and Proteomics to Study Alcohol-drinking Behavior." [5] She is now the Core Director for the Bioinformatics & Biostatistics Core at the Oregon National Primate Research Center at Oregon Health and Science University.
Fei is married to software engineer Yiyang Fei and they have a daughter and a son. She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lives in Oregon.
Fei is listed as "Data Coordinator" as the fifteenth among the approximately 600 authors of the paper Raphael BJ, et al. Integrated genomic characterization of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Cancer cell. 2017 Aug 14;32(2):185-203, which has been cited 217 times according to Google Scholar [5]
