Welcome to the Homepage of Wei Cheng’s Lab !

I am a Principal Investigator at the Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-Inspired Intelligence (ISTBI), Fudan University, Shanghai. I obtained a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Fudan University, supervised by Prof. Jianfeng Feng. I completed postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Statistics of Fudan University from Jul, 2016 to June, 2018, during which time I was a visiting scholar at the University of Warwick, UK for one year performing neuroscience research with Prof. Edmund T. Rolls. I also have an appointment as an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick in the Department of Computer Science. I am the recipient of grants from The National Natural Sciences Foundation of China, The National Natural Sciences Foundation of Shanghai, among many other awards and grants. My research focuses on developing statistical and computational methods, and applying them to the study of brain function and mental disorders with multimodal brain imaging and genetic data. I have published more than 50 SCI articles as the first author or corresponding author in many high-impact journals including JAMA Psychiatry, Nature Aging, Nature Mental Health, Nature Communications, Brain, etc. My research has been cited more than 3300 times (Google academic citations, Sep, 2023). My research has attracted the attention of many public media including the BBC, Daily Mail, and CNN, etc. I joined the editorial board of Journal of Neuroscience Methods, and a reviewer for a number of SCI journals including Nature Human Behaviour, Biological Psychiatry, etc.
