Professor Haleh Alimohamadi’s Research
Haleh Alimohamadi is an Assistant Professor in the Molecular Biology & Biochemistry at UC Irvine and also the director of the BioIntelligence Lab. Her lab research broadly focuses on developing multi-scale theoretical, experimental, and physics-guided AI frameworks to study biological systems, from low-level molecular machineries to high-level cellular functionalities. She is also interested in designing biologically inspired cognitive AI models that enhance interpretability and enable reasoning over complex biological data. The goal of the BioIntelligence Lab is to identify the interconnections and integrated mechanisms between the molecular environment and cellular functions with the hope of developing novel strategies for precise and personalized medicine.
Research Focus:
- Multi-scale physics-guided AI frameworks to study biological systems
- Biologically inspired cognitive AI models to enhance interpretability and enable reasoning
