He was a postdoctoral research fellow from Jan 2018 to April 2020 at the School of Biomedical Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, China where he is currently a research associate since Jan 2021. Dr. Elazab has authored and co-authored more than 80 peer-reviewed papers and has been a reviewer in prestigious peer-reviewed international journals. His main research interests include machine and deep learning, medical image analysis, brain anatomy analysis, and computer-aided detection and diagnosis.
Richard D Emes
Professor of Bioinformatics at Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science and Director of the University of Nottingham Advanced Data Analysis Centre.
Research interests are in bioinformatics, comparative genomics and molecular evolution particularly in the fields of pathogen biology, epigenetics and neurobiology.
Scott Emrich
I received a BS in Biology and Computer Science from Loyola College in Maryland and a PhD in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology from Iowa State University (ISU). Upon graduation, I received a ISU Research Excellence award and the university-wide Zaffrano Prize for Graduate Research. Starting after graduation in 2007 I spent the first ten years of my career at the University of Notre Dame, and now am an Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville). My research interests include genome-focused bioinformatics, parallel and distributed computing, and the intersection of biological applications and second and third-gen sequencing. Nearly all of my research has been funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).
