Raymond Hall Yip Louie

I am a computational biologist and bioinformatician, with a current focus on applying machine learning and computational tools to analyze immune cells in patients with HCV, cealiac disease or blood malignancies treated with CAR T therapy. I received a PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Sydney, after which I was an ARC Postdoctoral Fellow focusing on wireless communications. I then moved to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where I focused on applying statistical and machine learning tools to viral sequence data, to aid in the design of effective vaccines. My background allows for a unique multi-disciplinary approach to solving biological problems. I am currently recruiting PhD students. Please contact me if interested. I am a computational biologist and bioinformatician specializing in developing computational tools and analyzing genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics data. I work primarily with immunological and virological data to understand fundamental immunological mechanisms and discover biomarkers for therapeutics and diagnostics. My work involves collaboration with academic, health and industry across NSW, Australia and internationally. Approaches: I develop computational tools to analyze biological data using my multi-disciplinary background in engineering and statistical machine learning. I also have extensive experience in analyzing single-cell multi-omic datasets. Impact: My analysis of single-cell data has led to numerous insights into understanding the evolution of immune cells in the context of CAR T immunotherapy and cealiac disease.
