Kun-Hsing "Kun" Yu, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. His lab integrates cancer patients' multi-omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) profiles with quantitative histopathology patterns to predict their clinical phenotypes. His team developed the first fully-automated algorithm to extract thousands of features from whole-slide histopathology images, discovered the molecular mechanisms underpinning the microscopic phenotypes of tumor cells, and successfully identified previously unknown cellular morphologies associated with patient prognosis. Dr. Yu's research interests include quantitative pathology, machine learning, and translational bioinformatics.
