๐ About Me
Hi, Iโm Mao Tian, a Research Assistant Professor at the anford Burnham Prebys in the Boutros Lab. My work sits at the intersection of cancer genomics, machine learning, and large language models (LLMs).
๐ฌ Research Focus
AI + Cancer Genomics: Developing machine learning and LLM-based methods for cancer subtyping, clinical prediction, and precision medicine.
Multi-omics & Tumor Evolution: Using WGS, WXS, RNA-seq, proteomics, single-cell, and spatial genomics to study aggressive cancers (e.g., anaplastic thyroid cancer, triple-negative breast cancer, HPV+ tonsil cancer).
Computational Tools: Building pipelines and software (e.g., iSubGen, PipeVirus, iTRI-QA) to support large-scale cancer genomics and AI-assisted research.
