Welcome to the Zhang Lab

Single-Cell Data-Driven Computational Omics and Systems Immunology (COSI)

We develop computational machine learning methods for single-cell omics to study inflammatory disease for translational medicine in the Department of Medicine Division of Rheumatology and Department of Biomedical Informatics Center for Health Artificial Intelligence, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
