Research Profile

I am leading a diverse, interdisciplinary team who likes to tackle important questions in systems medicine by developing and using novel machine learning algorithms. Our ultimate goal is to identify risk factors and mechanisms affecting aging and contributing to the onset and progression of chronic diseases and cancer. We also develop predictive methods and tools that can directly improve health. We use probabilistic graphical models and other machine learning methods to integrate and mine high-dimensional, multi-modal biomedical data and to investigate biological processes pertinent to health and disease.

Areas of Interest

  • Aging
  • Causal inference
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Computational biology
  • Liver Disease
  • Lung cancer
  • Machine learning and applications
