Duke-NUS Medical School

Bio

Dr. Chen’s laboratory specializes in AI-powered single-cell and spatial omics analysis for precision medicine, focusing on the development of innovative AI algorithms and comprehensive omics databases. She has pioneered a suite of impactful methodologies, including GraphST (Nature Communications 2023), SEDR (Genome Medicine 2024), STAMP (Nature Methods 2024), SpatialGlue (Nature Methods 2024), and SpaMosaic (Nature Genetics 2026), to address critical computational challenges in spatial omics. Furthermore, her creation of the DISCO platform (NAR 2022, 2025), the largest curated human single-cell database to date, has significantly advanced open access to high-quality data for the global research community. Dr. Chen is currently leveraging large-scale data to develop 'Virtual Immunity', an AI-driven digital twin of the immune system spanning cellular, tissue, and systemic levels. This initiative aims to transform our understanding of Asian immune aging, infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and cancer immunology.
