Dr. Ruining Deng is an Instructor of Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine, working under the mentorship of Dr. Mert Sabuncu. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Vanderbilt University under the supervision of Dr. Yuankai Huo. His research focuses on developing clinically grounded artificial intelligence technologies for biomedical data analysis, with particular interests in digital pathology, medical imaging, and spatial molecular profiling. By integrating clinical knowledge with advances in machine learning, he aims to build AI systems that address real-world challenges in medicine. His work centers on cross-modal learning, AI-powered tools for clinical and translational research, democratizing computational pathology, and leveraging foundation models to construct comprehensive multimodal atlases of human disease. Please find his latest CV and full publications.
Besides being a research assistant at Vanderbilt University, Dr. Deng was a visiting scholar at the University of Notre Dame, as well as a member of the research staff at Guangdong Provincial Cardiovascular Institute. He has also served as a software engineer intern at Bridge Investment Group in Charlotte, NC. Recently, he completed a summer internship at Roche Diagnostics USA as an imaging scientist. More professional experience can be found in his latest resume.
