I work on medical AI at NIH with Dr. Zhiyong Lu. My research interests include AI evaluation, retrieval-augmented generation, language agents, and clinical trial matching.

I received the NIH/NLM K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award (~$1M). NLM supports biomedical informatics research and only funds ~three new K99/R00 awards each year.

My first-author research (e.g., PubMedQA and TrialGPT) has been published in Nature Methods, Nature Communications, npj Digital Medicine, EBioMedicine, Bioinformatics, NeurIPS, ACL, EMNLP, and SIGIR.

We developed the MedCPT foundation models that have been downloaded over 4 million times on Hugging Face, and PubTator Database that has been accessed over 1 billion times.

Our work has also been adopted by Google, Microsoft & OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, Nvidia; and featured by **NIH News Releases** & Catalyst, POLITICO, Nature, Nature Biotech, MedScape.

We received the NIH Director’s Challenge Innovation Awards, AMIA Distinguished Poster Award, IMIA Best NLP Paper Award, and BioBank Disease AI Challenge Award.

I serve as the Associate Editor for the Journal of Medical Internet Research, as the Area Chair for ACL Rolling Review, and on the Editorial Board of Journal of Biomedical Informatics.
