Murugesan Raju
My name is Murugesan, and my research focuses on biomedical and ocular informatics. My primary research interests revolve around the early prediction of disease onset and developing a drug recommendation system using DL and LSTM models. To facilitate translational research, I am interested in developing novel methods and pipelines to integrate and extract meaningful data-driven knowledge from various omics data, such as clinical data, genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

Cheryl Rosenfeld
Rosenfeld specializes in studying the effects of maternal diet on offspring, exploring how the in-utero environment can shape risks for later disease. Her research with mice has yielded majorbreakthroughs. She has determined that an energy-rich maternal diet will result in more male mouse pups, while a restricted-calorie diet produces daughtersmore frequently. She also established a relationship between a certain hair-coat color and obesity and diabetes in mice. Most recently, the Rosenfeld lab has identified spatial learning disabilities in male deer mice whose mothers consumed a diet supplemented with bisphenol A, (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor and a common pollutant. This…
