Jian Ma is the Ray and Stephanie Lane Professor of Computational Biology in the Ray and Stephanie Lane Computational Biology Department at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, based in the Gates Hillman Center. His research focuses on developing AI/ML methods to study human genome structure, cellular organization, and their implications for health and disease.
Primary research areas include nuclear architecture, single-cell epigenomics, spatial omics, and molecular interactions. The lab employs probabilistic modeling and deep learning techniques (especially graph representation learning) to analyze multi-scale biological systems, with recent exploration of large language models for decoding gene regulatory mechanisms.
Dr. Ma leads an NIH Center in the 4D Nucleome (4DN) Program and participates in the NIH SenNet and IGVF Consortia. He advises multiple PhD students and researchers working on computational biology and machine learning projects.
