BioMedical Big Data Mining Lab
武汉大学生物医学大数据挖掘实验室 - 中文

In recent years, advances in bioinformatics, medicine and high throughput sequencing techniques have generated a large number of drug biochemical data, pharmacokinetic data, phenotypic data and adverse reaction data. Based on multi-source heterogeneous data, our lab is aimed to mine relations between drugs, diseases, side effects and other relevant information.

Research topics:

  • Multi-source data integration method, recommender system, missing link prediction in complex networks, semi-supervised learning, transfer learning;
  • applications of computational methods to solve hot problems in fields of social network, biomedical data mining, such as drug side effect prediction, drug-target interaction prediction, drug-drug interaction prediction, drug-disease association prediction.
