Clinical Intelligence for the Next Era of Care.

Overview

Overview

Patient Encoding Neural Networks Clinical Lab is a computational research lab with expertise spanning clinical domain science, cohort analytics, statistical inference, and machine learning. Work focuses on patient encoding, subtype structure, time-indexed outcomes, and mechanism-linked association patterns across neuroimmune cognition, gut brain programs, neurology, and oral-systemic inflammation, with evaluation centered on reproducibility and validation across cohorts.

Team Infrastructure

The lab is supported by a team spanning clinical collaborators, research staff, and computational specialists. The group maintains study operations, data integrity, and analytical development so that projects move from cohort intake to validated results with consistent standards

CLINICAL AND SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION

Team Lead: Antonio Moreno

Clinical and scientific collaborators help define phenotype constructs, choose endpoints, and interpret subgroup structure in domain context. This group supports cohort framing, aligns measurement anchors across studies, and reviews results for plausibility and translational relevance.

RESEARCH OPERATIONS

Team Leads: Jun Li, PhD and Robert Abrams, PhD

Research team conduct day-to-day study execution, including capture of longitudinal measures, study design and inference, multivariate and regression modeling, interaction testing, and sensitivity analyses. A focused modeling group also develops neural architectures for patient encoding and multimodal learning. The team tracks completeness and manages handoffs between collection and analysis so datasets remain consistent across timepoints.

DATA ENGINEERING

Yan Zhou, PhD

Build and maintain the interface that convert raw inputs into structured datasets used for inference. This includes harmonization, feature construction, and reusable tooling for time-indexed cohort assembly.

MACHINE/REPRESENTATION LEARNING

Interim Lead: Ruchita Sharma

Developing embedding methods, clustering workflows, and longitudinal prediction models aligned to the clinical lab portfolio.

DATA QUALITY

Stefan Schmidt

Dedicated data quality function maintains validation rules and release standards.
