The Ning lab is conducting research on data mining, machine learning and big data analytics with applications for emerging critical problems in drug discovery, medical informatics, health informatics and e-commerce. Dr. Ning develops efficient data mining and machine learning methodologies to facilitate rapid and targeted exploration over chemical and biological spaces, and effective computational algorithms (e.g., recommendation, information retrieval) to analyze medical and healthcare data (e.g., electronic medical records, pharmacovigilance data).

Dr. Ning co-directs TDAI’s Computational Health & Life Sciences community of practice.
