Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jiahui Chen is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Their research focuses on the evolution of SARS-CoV-2, investigating mutations that impact infectivity, vaccine effectiveness, and antibody resistance. Chen has published work analyzing SARS-CoV-2 substrains and novel variants in the United States and has explored mechanisms of viral evolution in Europe and America. Their publications also address prediction and mitigation strategies for mutation threats to COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies, alongside research on SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors.

Further research interests include pharmaceutical cocrystals, with a review on their preparation, properties, and applications. Chen has also worked on the development of AI-based models for predicting heart disease within the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) framework. Chen serves as PI on an NSF grant for a conference, The 10th SIAM Central States Section Annual Meeting, totaling $24,000. They maintain an active research lab and lead a research group, collaborating with colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
