Research Profile
Dr. Gu’s search focuses on developing and applying Artificial Intelligence algorithms and statistical models, particularly deep learning and machine learning, for understanding the complex biological systems and human diseases. She has intensive training and experiences on genetics, genomics, epigenetics, genome wide association studies, cancer biology, RNA sciences and alzheimer’s disease. She is particularly interested in integrating multi-omics data into one model to study their interactions and identify the key elements and the interactions caused the disease to assist the early diagnosis and personalized treatment.
