Rate My Professor Junhao Wen

Junhao Wen is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Radiological Sciences in the Department of Radiology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, a position he has held since 2025. He also serves as affiliated faculty in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, the Data Science Institute, the Zuckerman Institute, and the New York Genome Center. Previously, Wen was a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Southern California in 2024 and a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania from 2019 to 2024. He earned his Ph.D. from Sorbonne University in 2019, M.S. from Beihang University in 2015, and B.S. from Beihang University in 2012. In 2018, he was a visiting scholar at University College London’s Centre for Medical Image Computing.

Wen’s research focuses on developing and applying artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to analyze multi-organ and multi-omics biomedical data in the context of human aging and disease, with emphasis on clinical and computational neuroscience to advance precision medicine. He leads the Laboratory of AI and Biomedical Science (LABS) and the MULTI consortium, producing influential work on biological aging clocks, imaging genetics, and neuroimaging endophenotypes. Key publications include “MRI-based multi-organ clocks for healthy aging and disease assessment” (MULTI Consortium, Nature Medicine, 2025), “Multi-organ metabolome biological age implicates cardiometabolic conditions and mortality risk” (MULTI Consortium, Nature Communications, 2025), “Towards a multi-organ, multi-omics medical digital twin” (Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2025), “Refining the generation, interpretation, and application of multi-organ, multi-omics biological aging clocks” (Nature Aging, 2025), and “Multiorgan biological age shows that no organ system is an island” (Nature Aging, 2024). Wen has received the OHBM 2018 Travel Award, OHBM 2022 Merit Award, and AAIC 2025 Conference Fellowship. He contributes as a reviewer for journals such as Nature, Nature Medicine, Nature Aging, and Nature Biomedical Engineering, and as a grant reviewer for NIH, ERC, and others. Wen has delivered seminars including at Columbia University on multi-organ aging clocks.
