Chunlei Zheng is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine. He is also a Health Science Specialist at VA Boston Healthcare System. Dr. Zheng completed his PhD in Biophysics at Chinese Academy of Sciences. After graduation, he moved to Cleveland Clinic, where he received a postdoctoral fellowship from American Heart Association to study the protein trafficking in human diseases. Before joining Boston University, Dr. Zheng is a research scientist at Case Western Reserve University, where he received intensive biomedical informatics training.

With solid background in biology and medicine and expertise in genomics, computer science, and statistics, Dr. Zheng has great passion for data-driven biomedical discovery. In particular, he has great interest on developing/applying computational algorithm, machine learning and statistical modeling into large-scale biomedical data to facilitate disease understanding and drug discovery. Currently, his research focuses on using artificial intelligence (AI) on Alzheimer’s Disease and Cancer.
