Research Focus
Dr. Yong Chen's lab at the University of Pennsylvania focuses on developing innovative data integration methods to improve the prediction and diagnosis of multi-system diseases, particularly using electronic health records. By creating advanced algorithms, his research aims to facilitate efficient data sharing among healthcare providers, ultimately leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses. The lab also explores phenotyping in Alzheimer's disease, working to standardize definitions and reduce bias in observational data.
