Academic Achievements
- - Cell2Sentence project, fine-tuning LLMs for tasks like cell generation and annotation by encoding scRNA-seq profiles as “cell sentences”. (ICML 2024)
- - C2S-Scale framework scaled to 27 billion parameters, achieving state-of-the-art performance for complex multicellular analyses. (bioRxiv 2025 Preprint)
- - CINEMA-OT applies causal inference with optimal transport to disentangle true treatment effects from confounders in single-cell perturbation experiments. (Nature Methods 2023)
- - 'Intelligence at the Edge of Chaos' pinpointed a “sweet spot” of data complexity that maximizes downstream predictive and reasoning abilities. (ICLR 2025)
- - MAGIC leverages Markov affinity-based graph diffusion to impute missing transcripts in single-cell RNA-seq data.
