Chen Jinmiao

Dr Jinmiao Chen is a computational biologist with solid background in single-cell analysis and artificial intelligence (AI). She received her Bachelor degree in Data and Computer Science from Sun Yat- Sen (Zhongshan) University, China in 2002, PhD degree in artificial intelligence and computational biology from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2007. During her PhD, she invented novel artificial neural network algorithms and published 1st-authored papers in top tier AI journals including IEEE Trans on Neural Network. After her PhD, she joined the Bioinformatics core of SIgN, A * STAR Singapore and she was able to analyse a wide range of data types including single- cell omics, flow/mass cytometry, microarray, next generation sequencing, microbiome/metagenomics and etc. Over the years, she has been an important pillar of the institute for Bioinformatics. In 2014, she became a Project Leader after a thorough selection and established her own research lab focusing on single-cell computational/system immunology. Since 2017, she has been a very productive and innovative Principal Investigator and leading the Single-Cell & AI for Precision Immunology (SCAIPI) lab. In her current team, she is supervising 8 postdoctoral research fellows, 2 data scientists, and 3 PhD students. One of her postdocs was awarded with Career Development Award in 2020. Since 2016, she has been an adjunct assistant professor at Department of Microbiology and Immunology, NUS.
