Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry
Dr. Pingzhao Hu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at The University of Western Ontario.
Dr. Pingzhao Hu is a tenured Associate Professor in Western University. Dr. Hu was trained in computer science and applied statistics. His group has published over 160 peer-reviewed articles with over 7020 citations and H-index 40. Dr. Hu is an Associate Editor of Annals of Medicine (Section of Medical Genetics and Genomics), and Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal(CSBJ).
The Hu lab focuses on developing and applying computational and statistical techniques for integrative analysis of big multimodal health data (omics data, imaging data, administrative and electronic medical records) for precision medicine. Dr. Hu's research program builds the bridges between artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning, statistics and multimodal health data (mainly omics data). His research is performed in an independent, multidisciplinary and collaborative team framework where his expertise in AI, statistical genetics and bioinformatics complements that of his collaborators.
Dr. Hu has outstanding experience in collaborating with basic scientists and clinicians. He was one of the major drivers to establish and develop the first statistical facility for omics data analysis (https://tcag.ca/facilities/statisticalAnalysis.html) in Canada when he acted as the facility’s manager in The Centre for Applied Genomics at Sickkids, Toronto. In this position, he consulted for and collaborated with more than 200 national and international basic and clinician scientists.
In the past 9 years, as a health data science lead, Dr. Hu has helped other principal investigators successfully apply for six CIHR project and team grants, and as a nominated principal investigator, Dr. Hu successfully applied for 2 CIHR project grants in human/statistical genetics, microbiome, methylation, proteomics, chemogenetics and single cell analysis.
Asset Map Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Deep learning, Biostatistics, Statistical Genetics, Medical imaging, Multiomics data integration, Badiogenomics, Bioinformatics, Drug design, Drug discovery, Single cell genomics.
Health Collaborators: Dr. Samuel Asfaha, Dr. Alison L. Allan, Dr. Shawn Li, Dr. Kun Ping Lu, Dr. Aleksandra Leligdowicz, Dr. Anton Nikouline, Dr. Pavel Roshanov
