Welcome to the Dr. Ruichen Rong Lab!
I am an Assistant Professor in the Quantitative Biomedical Research Center (QBRC) in the Peter O’Donnell Jr. School of Public Health at UT Southwestern Medical Center. My background is in bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, with extensive experience in designing novel artificial intelligence algorithms for biomedical research.
In the past few years, I have developed multiple deep learning models for biomedical imaging datasets: CT scan, X-ray image, digital pathology slides, fluorescence imaging, spatial transcriptomics. Along with computer vision, I have also participated in various projects focusing on NLP analysis for clinical notes, pathological reports, EHR data analysis, and metagenomics. Currently I’m focusing on the development of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for pathology image diagnosis and reasoning.
