Our mission is to enhance cancer treatment and knowledge by harnessing the power of computer intelligence. Guided by our vision that computers will eventually be able to think and perform similar tasks as humans, we strive to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence and statistical approaches for building system models of tumors. This way opening the doors to collaboration with experimental labs and pharmaceutical companies . Our lab fosters a diverse, collaborative environment for advancing cancer research.
At Tumor-AI Lab, we develop artificial intelligence algorithms to advance basic science and cancer treatment. Our lab focuses on three areas:
Broadening the coverage of precision treatment through novel AI tools that transform insights from the transcriptomes of cancer cells into potential drugs and specific gene alterations targeting particular cancers.
Predicting emergent gene and protein traits by extracting multi-modal gene data through a large language model and knowledge injection techniques that combine structured and unstructured databases.
Deconstructing immune responses through imaging and analysis of single-cell and spatial biology.

Our latest publication in Nature Communications, in collaboration with Rafa Irizarry's Lab, introduces scDist—a principled approach to address variability in single-cell data. This rigorous tool enhances accuracy and uncovers robust perturbations in DC, pDC, and NK cells in COVID-19 and immunotherapy responses. As single-cell datasets grow, we’re excited to advance the intersection of AI, statistics, and biology.
We believe in diversity and inclusivity for everyone, and that are dedicated to fostering these values inside our many cutting edge projects. A concept that translated directly to all that we do.
This is one of the reasons why we want to keep our tools and projects available to the public. All of our Artificial Intelligence models and approaches for statistical representation are publicly available through a number of websites and links. Refer to these links and access instructions through the following link.
This way we can all work together towards this simple goal.
