| Ahmed, Zeeshan zahmed@ifh.rutgers.edu |
Assistant Professor –Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS)- Tenure Track @ Rutgers Health.Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hypertension / Core Faculty Member Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research (IFH) Rutgers The State University of New Jersey. | Our broad goal is the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications to support translational research and precision medicine. More specifically, we implement innovative AI/ML techniques to discover novel biomarkers and predict disease susceptibility using multimodal data. | |
| Anat Kreimer kreimer@cabm.rutgers.edu |
Assistant Professor - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS)- Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology | The Kreimer Lab develops predictive models of transcriptional regulation by integrating large-scale genomic datasets to understand how regulatory elements act in specific conditions, cell types, and tissues. By combining computational modeling with high-throughput experimental approaches, the lab aims to uncover the interactions and mechanisms through which genetic variation in non-coding regions influences gene regulation and drives human disease. | |

Assistant Professor - Rutgers School of Nursing - Division of Nursing Science | Digital health integration to reduce therapeutic inertia in primary care diabetes management through contextualized continuous glucose monitoring reports and mobile health interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes. | |
| Daneault, Jean Francois jf.daneault@rutgers.edu |
Associate Professor - Rutgers School of Health Professions- Rehabilitation and Movement Sciences | Computational and digital health approaches to the management of chronic neurological disorders. | |
| Francis, Ellen ellen.francis@rutgers.edu |
Assistant Professor -Rutgers School of Public Health -Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology | Pregnancy complications are heterogeneous syndromes with lasting consequences for women and their children. Our lab uses metabolomics to identify metabolic pathways underlying interrelated disorders such as gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. We integrate these molecular signatures with clinical markers to identify mechanistically distinct subtypes, improve risk prediction, and understand how pregnancy unveils long-term cardiometabolic vulnerability. Our goal is to inform precision prevention, diagnosis, and prognosis for maternal and child health. | |
| Holmes, Avram avram.holmes@rutgers.edu |
Associate Professor of Psychiatry - Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research | Dr. Holmes' lab studies the fundamental organization of large-scale human brain networks, with a particular focus on higher-level cognition and the intersection of emotion and cognition. Using a multi-scale approach, the lab studies phenomena across levels, from genes and molecules through cells, circuits, networks, and behavior | |
| Johnson, Evan wj183@njms.rutgers.edu |
Professor - Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) - Division of Infectious Disease, Department of Medicine, Director - Rutgers New Jersey Medical School (NJMS) - Center for Data Science | Data Science, Bioinformatics, and Machine Learning/AI in -omics datasets. Applying our work in infectious disease, cancer, the microbiome, and host-microbe interactions, with a strong focus on TB research. Using ML/AI to integrate complex multi-modal datasets to understand mechanisms and make precision predictions for diseases etiology, prognosis, and treatment. | |

| Rawal, Shristi shristi.rawal@rutgers.edu |
Associate Professor -Rutgers School of Health Professions - Department of Clinical and Preventative Nutrition Science | My work centers on advancing cardiometabolic health through epidemiology, implementation science, and mobile health solutions, with special emphasis on pregnancy. I leverage wearable sensors, remote monitoring, and user-centered digital interventions to address complications such as gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, as well as to support healthy lifestyle behaviors and cardiometabolic risk reduction in non-pregnant populations, including individuals with Down syndrome. | |
| Saleh, Soha salehsh@shp.rutgers.edu |
Assistant Professor, Rutgers School of Health Professions - Departmentment of Rehabilitation and Movement Sciences. Assistant Professor - Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS)- Department of Neurology | Dr. Saleh’s research focuses on understanding neural networks involved in motor learning and control, as well as neuroplasticity in individuals with motor and cognitive deficits. Her work uses a multidisciplinary approach that combines structural and functional neuroimaging, electrophysiological techniques, and behavioral assessments, along with advanced signal processing and computational analysis. She examines cognitive-motor interactions and uses neuromodulation strategies to boost neuroplasticity. A key part of her research involves using machine learning and artificial intelligence to create predictive models for recovery patterns and treatment responses with the goal of developing personalized rehabilitation interventions. | |
