    Collapse overview
    Shinya Tasaki is a computational biologist at the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center and an assistant professor at Rush University Medical Center. His current research activities focus on building healthcare solutions for aging and Alzheimer’s disease by unifying different types of biomedical information. Before joining Rush, he worked in the pharmaceutical industry and experienced a broad range of drug discovery processes, such as target identification, portfolio prioritization, translational and personalized medicine. Data-driven hypotheses feed into collaborations with wet lab biologists and clinicians, and together we verify and refine the predictions to contribute to better healthcare programs.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
