AHMED LAB
The goal of the Ahmed Lab is to build intelligent health systems that systematically incorporate clinical, multi-omics, and phenotypic data into healthcare for providing personalized treatment and better life. We are a computational lab, driven towards the development of bioinformatics tools and methods for multi-omics and clinical data management, processing, integration, annotation, interpretation, and Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) ready data generation and sharing. Our focus is on implementing AI/M approaches to the whole genome and transcriptome data for the identification of patterns revealing predictive biomarkers and risk factors to support earlier diagnosis of patients with complex traits, including Cardiovascular, COVID-19, and Alzheimer’s diseases.
We have already designed, developed, and practiced many bioinformatics tools, genomics pipelines, AI/ML algorithms, annotation databases, mobile health platforms, high-performance computing (HPC) based frameworks for multivariate clinical and multi-omics data analysis and dissemination. Furthermore, we have implemented dynamic HIPAA-compliant infrastructures to support various scientific st
