I will use this space to share project updates, practical lessons from building multimodal machine-learning systems, and reflections on reproducible AI research.</p> <p>My current interests include medical AI, multimodal representation learning, computer vision, foundation models, and AI for scientific discovery. Publications and longer-term work are collected on the and pages.</p>https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/foundation-models-neuropathic-pain/Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/foundation-models-neuropathic-pain/<p>Neuropathic pain is difficult to treat, and data scarcity makes it challenging to train high-capacity models for drug-response prediction. Our work studies how foundation models can transfer knowledge from larger, pain-agnostic datasets into small, pain-specific neuroimaging cohorts.</p> <p>The resulting framework combines multimodal information within the target cohort with representations learned from external fMRI data. The paper is available on .</p>https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2025-foundation-model-paper/Mon, 03 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2025-foundation-model-paper/<p>Our work on is available on arXiv.</p>https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2024-cardiovae/Wed, 20 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2024-cardiovae/<p> , our multimodal approach to low-cost cardiac hemodynamics assessment, is available on arXiv.</p>https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2024-medslip/Fri, 15 Mar 2024 12:00:00 +0000https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2024-medslip/<p>We released , a dual-stream vision-language pre-training framework for fine-grained medical image-text alignment.</p>https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2023-joined-aire/Mon, 04 Sep 2023 12:00:00 +0100https://wenruifan.github.io/blog/2023-joined-aire/<p>I joined the University of Sheffield&rsquo;s as an AI Research Engineer.</p>
