Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Foong is an AI scientist and Assistant Professor specializing in biomedical informatics and molecular biochemistry, currently leading AI-driven cancer treatment efforts in Radiation Oncology at the Mayo Clinic. With a PhD from the University of Cambridge in advanced machine learning, he blends probabilistic modelling and deep learning expertise—Bayesian neural nets, meta-learning and equivariance—with hands-on research experience from Microsoft Research and DeepMind. His recent work on protein generative models contributed to BioEmu, published in Science, reflecting a focus on AI4Science that translates foundational ML into molecular and clinical impact. Across academia and industry he has guided both undergraduate teaching and cutting-edge research teams, bridging theory and deployment in high-stakes biomedical settings. A detail often overlooked: his background includes molecular dynamics simulation work from early undergraduate research, giving him rare end-to-end fluency from physical simulation to modern generative models.
