Jinmiao Chen obtained her bachelor’s degree in computer science from Sun Yat-sen University, China in 2002, before completing a PhD degree in machine learning and artificial intelligence at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2008. Chen then joined the bioinformatics core of the A*STAR Singapore Immunology Network (A*STAR SIgN) as a postdoctoral research fellow, where she analyzed microarrays, next generation sequencing, microbiome/metagenomics, high dimensional flow/mass cytometry and single-cell RNA-sequencing data. In 2014, she established her own research lab as a Project Leader at SIgN. She is now a Senior Principal Investigator at A*STAR’s Bioinformatics Institute (A*STAR BII) focusing on AI-powered single-cell and spatial omics analysis for precision medicine.
