Researcher

Mai Chan Lau is an Assistant Principal Investigator at A*STAR’s Bioinformatics Institute (BII) who also holds a joint appointment where she runs the Computational Immunology Platform at the Singapore Immunology Network. She has diverse experience and AI/ analytics skillsets in RNA, single-cell, immune repertoire, microbiome, and spatial omics research. Her main research focus is on AI-based spatial immunology studies of cancer and infectious diseases. She has developed a novel spatial analysis method, called Tumor-Immune Partitioning and Clustering (TIPC), which resulted in a provisional patent coversheet as a software invention. Lau is leading the AI efforts as part of the industrial grants to develop deep learning prediction model for cancer vaccine and immunotherapy.
