    Macromolecular informatics, protein structure prediction, and protein alignment

  • Computational neuroscience

    Mathematical models for brain function and brain imaging

  • Genomics and bioinformatics

    Cancer genomic sequencing and analysis, predictive modelling for disease outcomes, biomarker discovery, and omics data integration

  • Learning analytics

    Healthcare simulation

  • Medical imaging and multimodal analysis

    Diagnosis and prognosis for eye, skin, heart, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases

  • Pharmacy

    AI in drug discovery and development

  • Virtual and augmented reality, and visualisation

    Immersive and interactive visualisations of complex, high-dimensional and geospatial data
