Finding Genius Podcast Decoding Cell Dynamics How AI Is Transforming Biomedical Discovery
In this episode, Dr. Jun Ding joins us to explore how artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping biomedical research at the cellular level. Dr. Ding is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Respiratory Medicine at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and leads the Ding Lab at McGill University's Meakins-Christie Laboratories.
Dr. Ding's research focuses on decoding cell dynamics across complex diseases by leveraging advanced single-cell technologies and computational biology. By developing machine-learning models such as probabilistic graphical models, Dr. Ding and his team aim to bridge massive omics datasets with actionable biological insight β paving the way for next-generation diagnostics and therapeuticsβ¦
Hit play to discover:
-
Why understanding cell dynamics is critical to tackling complex diseases like cancer.
-
How single-cell and spatial omics technologies are revealing previously hidden biological heterogeneity.
-
The role of machine learning in modeling disease progression and identifying new drug targets.
