Noorsher Ahmed
Post-Doctoral Fellow
Cellular and Molecular Medicine
Summary
Noor's research focuses on technology development for spatial genomics. During his PhD work, he focused on spatial transcriptomics method development, optofluidic robotics, and computer vision analytical frameworks. Now as a postdoc, he builds on his prior work to leverage his tera-scale data generation capabilities to build genomics AI models.
