Yanghui Liao is a PhD student at Nanyang Technological University with 11 years of research experience applying AI and data mining to biology, focused on discovering novel antibiotics, antifungals, enzymes and other drug leads from bacterial genomes. Previously a research associate at Tufts, Yanghui combined machine learning and statistical analysis of multidimensional BSL-3 animal data to uncover rapid diagnostic biomarkers for tuberculosis. Based in Singapore and open to roles in business development and investing, Yanghui blends deep domain expertise in synthetic biology pipelines with hands-on AI model development to accelerate drug discovery. Notably, they bridge computational genomics and wet-lab objectives to translate genomic gene-cluster mining into actionable compound leads, making them effective at connecting technical science to commercial and translational opportunities.
