Research
My research bridges Vision and Omics — leveraging spatial transcriptomics for pathology image analysis, developing weakly-supervised and label-efficient learning methods, and exploring multimodal learning to advance AI in medicine.
Spatial Transcriptomics × Pathology
Enhancing pathological image recognition guided by spatial transcriptomics
Pathology Image Analysis
Disease diagnosis, severity estimation, and biomarker analysis from whole slide images
Weakly-supervised / Label-efficient Learning
High-accuracy model training with minimal annotation cost
Multimodal Learning
Integrating image, text, and omics data; scientific document analysis
Gene Expression Estimation from Pathology Images
Estimating gene expression from pathology images using cell-type prototype-informed neural networks.
