Dr. Chen is an instructor at
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he conducted postdoctoral training from Oct 2020 to Mar 2023.
Before, he received a B.Eng. degree in software engineering and a M.Eng. degree in biomedical image analysis from
the Dalian University of Technology in 2012 and 2015, respectively. He received a Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering
from the University of Florida in Aug 2020.
His research focuses on the invention and application of computational techniques to advance cancer diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutics.
Three pillars of his research are 1) pathology image analysis, 2) tumor microenvironment profiling, and 3) imaging, clinical data, and multi-omics integration.
Dr. Chen aims to harmonize the perspectives of pathologists, oncologists, biologists, and computer scientists toward developing robust solutions to address critical unmet needs for making cancer history.
