Leading Editor of a Research Topic in Frontiers in Medicine

09/2025 – Present

I am the leading editor of a Research Topic in Frontiers in Medicine titled Smart Prevention and Precision Care: Machine Learning in Cardiometabolic and Oncologic Diseases.

This Research Topic focuses on the transformative role of machine learning (ML) in advancing smart prevention and precision care for cardiometabolic and oncologic diseases. Our aim is to highlight innovative approaches that integrate predictive modeling, individualized treatment selection, and proactive health monitoring to address the unique challenges of cardiovascular, metabolic, and cancer-related conditions.

Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Predictive models for disease onset, progression, relapse, or treatment response in cardiometabolic and oncologic populations
• Personalized medicine strategies leveraging ML for patient stratification, therapy optimization, and biomarker discovery
• Preventive healthcare enabled by continuous monitoring, early warning systems, and adaptive risk models
• Integration of multimodal data (EHRs, imaging, molecular profiling, wearable devices) for enhanced decision support
• Explainable and interpretable ML approaches that foster clinician trust and adoption in cardiology, oncology, and metabolic medicine
• Ethical, regulatory, and implementation considerations specific to high-impact, high-risk clinical domains
• ML solutions for reducing disparities and improving access to advanced care in resource-limited settings.
