Senior🎓
Top SchoolLing Tong is a postdoctoral researcher in biomedical and health informatics with 11 years of experience building clinician-oriented products that bridge EHRs, insurance claims, and AI-driven predictive models. She combines deep clinical data domain knowledge with practical skills in statistical modelling, NLP, and information extraction to turn messy healthcare data into actionable study-level metadata and portal interfaces. At UTHealth Houston she supports NIH-awarded networks by developing specimen and sequencing portal metadata systems, drawing on prior academic work integrating EMR data for disease prediction. A former lecturer and graduate researcher, she blends teaching, applied research, and software engineering—having also worked on automated testing and front-end big-data projects—so she’s comfortable shipping reproducible research into production-facing tools.
