Juan Cui, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). She earned her Ph.D. in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics from the National University of Singapore and conducted her postdoctoral research in cancer informatics at the University of Georgia. Currently, she holds courtesy appointments in the School of Biological Sciences at UNL and the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Dr. Cui has published over 80 scientific articles, including co-authored book on “cancer bioinformatics” and four book chapters in the field of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Biomedical Data Analytics, and Cancer Research. She also holds two U.S. patents in cancer diagnostic biomarkers discovery. Active in the academic community, she serves on journal editorial boards and program committees of international conferences and workshops in bioinformatics.
Her primary research interest at UNL is developing integrated computational solutions for cancer research. Her group’s work spans multi-omics and machine learning-enabled biomarker discovery, modeling cancer genome evolution, RNA regulation, cellular communication, diet and health linkage, and technologies for smart health management. Dr. Cui’s research not only focuses on developing cutting-edge technologies for clinical decision making but also on making mechanistic discoveries of diseases underpinnings to enhance our understanding.
