Research interests
My research interest focuses on developing Artificial Intelligence and Computational Biology models to understand diseases complexity and address personalised and precision medicine. Current focus is on Graph Neural Network modeling to build predictive models based on the integration of multi scale, multi omics and multi physics data; integrate deep learning and mechanistic approaches; explainability and interpretability in medicine; exploiting short and long range communications in the human body, between cells and tissues and predict emerging mechanistic properties at systemic medicine level. Develop an AI-based medical digital twin to increase self-awareness; Develop an AI personal decision support system to increase social awareness.
