Research Experience
  • Closely collaborates with data mining experts, statisticians, bench scientists, medicinal chemists, and physicians to identify new therapeutics.
Background
  • Research interests include OMICS-based drug discovery, OMICS-based biomarker and target discovery, and virtual platform development to support translational research. The primary data used include bulk/single cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, and EMR/EHR. In addition to traditional bioinformatics methods, actively developing and implementing new machine learning models such as transfer learning and deep reinforcement learning.
Miscellany
  • The lab welcomed several interns and researchers; some members advanced or moved on to other institutions.
