内容摘要Abstract： 

Scalable single cell data analytics: Developing scalable bioinformatics methods to analyze scRNA-seq data to answer important biological questions.

Microbiome functional systems biology: Developing computational statistical tools to process large metagenomic data and integrate them with other omics or deep phenotyping data to understand how the microbiome affects health.

Medical AI mobile health and wearable devices: Developing new big data machine-learning algorithms to extract, de-noise, analyze and correlate physical activity data and heart rate dynamics to establish new non-invasive screening tools to monitor a person's health status.
