Background
Professor of Data Science at the College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore
Research interests include explainable AI, generative AI, brain imaging, and computational and systems biology
Current research focuses on developing computational techniques and tools for diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases by integrating neuroimaging and multi-omics data
Also investigates integration of imaging data with multi-omics (genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics) to study molecular mechanisms of diseases
Research includes generating small molecule and peptide-based drugs for cancer
