Yingcheng Wu 吴英成 | AI for Science

Overview

I am an MD-PhD Candidate in AI & Medicine, bridging the gap between computational intelligence and biomedical complexity.

With ~10 years of experience in AI & cancer & research, I have conducted research at Fudan, CAS, and Stanford. I currently work with Dr. Qiang Gao and Dr. Le Cong.

I believe in AI. I believe it is the future for medicine. I build AI to decode the immune system and design cures.
