MULTI: investigating brain aging and diseases at scale via AI/ML, imaging, genetics, and beyond the brain

Dr. Wen’s research endeavors focus on developing and applying artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) techniques to analyze multi-organ, multi-omics biomedical data for studying human aging and disease. This talk encompasses three intertwined yet progressive perspectives: i) scrutinizing the reproducibility of AI/ML in neuroimaging research; ii) depicting the neuroanatomical heterogeneity of brain disorders using AI/ML and imaging; and iii) embracing multi-scale (organs and omics) approaches to investigate brain aging and disease beyond the brain. Integrating AI-driven decision support systems into clinical settings to identify potential genetic, proteomic, metabolomics, and imaging biomarkers for future therapeutic interventions is central to his research interests.
