Yaojia Chen is a Postdoc in Computational Biology Departments of MBZUAI. Her research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, and computational biology, with a focus on developing deep learning methods for drug discovery, circRNA-related analysis, and biomedical association prediction.
Her work aims to leverage graph-based learning, attention mechanisms, and representation learning to address key challenges in biomedical data analysis, including drug–drug interaction prediction, cancer-associated circRNA and drug prediction, circRNA–disease association analysis, and drug–microbe association discovery. By integrating advanced machine learning models with biological networks and multi-source biomedical data, her research seeks to provide scalable, accurate, and biologically meaningful computational tools for understanding disease mechanisms and supporting precision medicine.
