Dr. Xin Tang awarded Tier 2 Canada Research Chair

Dr. Xin Tang is awarded a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Computational Cell Biology. Dr. Tang’s research program lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and biology, building AI models that can predict cellular behaviour and guide experiments in complete, closed loops. The predictions from these AI models can be used to study biological problems such as aging, cancer and its evasion of the immune system, brain-computer interfaces, and neurodegenerative disease progression, with the goal of uncovering new therapeutic pathways at a faster pace to improve human health.
