Dr. Feng Gao is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Colorectal Surgery at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, supported by Sun Yat-sen University’s prestigious 100 Top Talents Program. Initially trained as a computer engineer, Dr. Gao briefly worked in engineering before transitioning to a role in finance. He later pursued a Ph.D. in cancer research, focusing on the integration of advanced artificial intelligence and big data technologies. As a core member of the ICGC-ARGO CRC project, his primary research interest lies in developing AI-driven solutions for the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer. He is also keenly interested in applying cutting-edge technologies to other medical fields, including diabetes, reproductive health, pediatrics, and dentistry.
