Tae Hyun Hwang, PhD

My research interest is developing novel machine learning and AI algorithms to ultimately help patients with the lethal disease. I hold Florida Department of Health Cancer Chair professor in the department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics,  department of Immunology, and department of Cancer Biology at Mayo Clinic.

One of my roles at Mayo Clinic is to build an internationally recognized program in AI in Oncology. I served as a bioinformatics core director for  NASA Specialized Centers of Research (NSCOR) to identify biological markers for susceptibility to cancer and early disease detection and countermeasures to reduce risk from exposure to space radiation. I also served as a Data Analysis Core co-director to lead a team of bioinformatician for University of Texas Southwestern Kidney Cancer Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) and led bioinformatics team for University of Texas Lung Cancer SPORE grants. 

My contributions for those projects are for developing machine learning, data mining, bioinformatics methodology to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers and build predictive models for clinical outcome prediction and treatment stratification. Currently, I am leading tranlsational machine learning and AI research for precision oncology, immuno-oncology, and cellular therapy in cancer at Mayo Clinic.
