Stephen J Newhouse

Data Science Lead (yak shaver) and Senior Bioinformatician at The Department of Biostatistics and Health Informatics: SLAM NHS NIHR Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health, Kings College London.

Binh P. Nguyen

Senior Lecturer in Data Science at the School of Mathematics and Statistics in Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand). Former Scientist at the Institute of High Performance Computing, A*STAR (Singapore). Former Research Fellow at Duke-NUS Medical School and National University of Singapore (Singapore).

Duc D Nguyen

Dr. Duc Nguyen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. His research interests lie at the interface of data science, mathematical biology, and scientific computing. He has developed several popular online servers for drug design communities such as FRI, RI-Score, DG-GL, and AGL-Score. By integrating mathematics and deep learning, Dr. Nguyen won the most number of contests in the past three D3R Grand Challenges, an annual worldwide competition series in computer-aided drug design. That success has stimulated his partnerships with Bristol-Myers Squibb for developing quantitative systems pharmacological models and with Pfizer for drug de novo hit identification.

Hoang Nguyen

Dr. Hoang Nguyen is a Lecturer (Computational biologist, data scientist, and computer scientist) within the School of Innovation, Design, and Technology at the Wellington Institute of Technology in New Zealand.

His research interests include Applied Data Science, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer-aided Drug Design, Bioinformatics, and Health informatics.

Qing Nie

Qing Nie is a Professor of Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering at University of California, Irvine. Dr. Nie's primary research areas include systems biology, stem cells, developmental biology, regulatory networks, stochastic dynamics, and computational mathematics.

Zemin Ning

Zemin Ning is a Senior Scientific Manager and heads the group of "High Performance Algorithm" at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, UK. Trained in Engineering/Physics, he has been active in genome informatics, specializing in sequence alignment and genome assembly. After completing a PhD degree at Aston University and postdoc training at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University, he joined in the Sanger Institute in 1999 to pursue bioinformatics research. Over the past years, he and his colleagues in the group have developed a number of bioinformatics tools, which are widely appreciated by the genomics community. The group has also produced over 30 de novo assemblies from large animal and plant genomes, including Gorilla, Zebrafish, Tasmanian Devil, Panda and Bamboo.
