马世嵩，教授，博士生导师。2001年毕业于北京大学生命科学学院，获理学学士学位。2007年获美国伊利诺伊大学香槟分校生物学博士学位。后在耶鲁大学（2007 – 2010年）和加州大学戴维斯分校（2010 – 2016年）从事研究工作，任博士后研究员、助理项目科学家等职。2016年加入中国科学技术大学生命科学学院。多年来一直从事植物系统生物学的研究，致力于分析、整合生物大数据以构建基因表达网络，并从中发掘出作用于植物代谢、发育、逆境应答等各种生命过程的基因模块，为这些过程的后续研究提供了崭新思路；同时也开发了植物蛋白芯片技术，以用于高通量的蛋白功能研究。研究成果发表于 PLoS Genetics, Genome Research, Genome Biology, Plant Journal 等期刊上，被 Faculty of 1000 推荐，SCI总引用超过1300次。
主要研究兴趣：
生物大数据的挖掘与应用
基因网络的构建与应用
作物抗逆及养分高效利用基因模块的发掘与功能研究
