Biography
Rong Chen is a recognized leader on translational bioinformatics, genetics, genomics, and precision medicine. For over 20 years, he has developed a wide variety of knowledgebase, data solution, platform, and clinical applications to drive clinical value in Health systems. He has developed Centrellis data platfrom to abstract longitudinal journey of millions of patients from diagnosis, treatment, to outcome from structured and unstructured data in EMR, interpret pathogenicity of hundreds of millions of genetic variants, enable physicians and scientists in health systems and Biopharma to visualize journey of millions of patients, and understand the natural history, disease progression, and treatment response for oncology and rare genetic disease. Using the platform, he developed algorithm to scan EMR and predict patients who requires clinical genetic tests but never tested to shorten diagnostic odyssey systematically. He has authored over 100 papers, and was a founding member of two startup, Sema4 and Personalis.
