Notably, during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Luo and his team documented the world's first case of critical COVID-19 biopsy, which revealed the presence of pulmonary fibrosis and microthrombosis.
His research interests span a wide spectrum, including medical and surgical emergencies in nasopharyngeal carcinoma ecology, ecological pathology, medical ecology tree, and experimental pathology.

Artificial intellegence Clinical bioinformatics Data mining Deep learning Machine learning

Dr. Yunlei Li studied data mining & bioinformatics at Delft University of Technology (TUD) under the supervision of Prof. Marcel Reinders and Prof. Lodewijk Wessels. She conducted her internship at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) under the supervision of Prof. Laura van ‘t Veer on breast cancer research. In 2004, she obtained her MSc degree with honor (cum laude). She performed her doctoral research at TUD with Prof. Marcel Reinders and Prof. Dick de Ridder and obtained her PhD in 2010 on “Exploiting noisy and incomplete biological data for prediction and knowledge discovery”. Since 2011, Dr. Li has been working at the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) on multiple basic cancer research as well as health care-oriented projects covering a wide range of diseases (incl. leukemia, aneurysm, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, glioblastoma, melanoma) and bioinformatics applications.

Currently she is leading the machine learning / artificial intelligence research line in the Department of Pathology & Clinical Bioinformatics at EMC. Her research focus is designing and applying novel artificial intelligence methods (data mining, machine learning, deep learning) in translational and clinical research settings to integrate and exploit multi-dimensional patient data (e.g. DNA, RNA, protein, image, clinical) for clinical cancer research and clinical trials, in order to gain insight of the diseases, discover biomarkers, improve diagnosis accuracies and stratification for personalized treatments.
