Welcome to our Brain Imaging and Genetics Lab!
We are a highly interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Jingwen Yan. Dr. Yan is an Associate Professor of BioHealth Informatics at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine (IUSM). Dr. Yan has extensive expertise in machine learning, network science, systems biology, visualization and web development. Much of this expertise has been applied to the challenge of understanding, diagnosing and treating complex diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this context, Dr. Yan’s research is focused on developing efficient and scalable computational and bioinformatics approaches for integrative analysis of high throughput multi-omic data and rich biological knowledge for discovery of biomarkers for AD and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Open positions
We are looking for highly motivated PhD students and postdocs with background in computational biology, biomedical informatics, computer science, or engineering to join our lab! Please check Openings for more details.
