Selected projects

My work centers on learning how biological systems respond to therapeutic interventions, and on transferring those models across cellular, molecular, and patient contexts.

Core research program

Treatment-conditioned biological dynamics

PerturbRx

Lead research direction

A framework for learning intervention-induced biological state transitions from perturbational data and transferring those dynamics toward patient-level drug-response prediction.

Interpretable therapeutic-response modeling

drGT

Co-developed experiments · Led analysis

A heterogeneous graph model connecting drugs, cell lines, and genes to predict response while producing gene-level, mechanism-oriented attributions.

Biomedical reasoning for therapeutic discovery

DrugAgent

First author · Framework development

A multi-agent framework for integrating heterogeneous and conflicting biomedical evidence for drug-target interaction prediction and therapeutic discovery.
