RESEARCH
đ Detailed Research
Our research is focused on the development of computational methods for the analysis of multi-omics data, with a particular emphasis on metabolomics and microbiome data. We are also interested in the application of these methods to precision medicine, aging, pregnancy, and other health-related areas.
Precision Medicine
Integrating omics, wearable, clinical, and microbiome data to support individualized prediction and intervention.
Metabolomics
LC-MS workflows, metabolite annotation, pathway interpretation, and metabolic signatures of health and disease.
Microbiome
Microbial community dynamics across body sites and their interactions with host metabolism.
Wearable
Longitudinal physiology, lifestyle signals, and digital biomarkers for dense personal health monitoring.
Aging
Multi-omics and wearable models for biological aging, aging-related diseases, and predictive biomarkers.
Pregnancy
Maternal and child health, pregnancy omics, preterm birth risk, and real-time physiological monitoring.
AI
Machine learning and interpretable AI for multi-layer biological data integration and prediction.
