Nicholas Tatonetti is an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics. He is developing methods for integrating and analyzing heterogeneous data types, including next-generation genome and transcriptome sequencing, metabolomics, proteomics, and electronic medical records. He and members of his laboratory develop algorithms and methods based on rigorous computational and mathematical approaches that can be used to account for the lack of controls within large, heterogenous data sets. The goals of his research are to understand basic biology, and ultimately to use this knowledge to improve human health.

Congratulations to Drs. Yufeng Shen, Nicholas Tatonetti, and Chaolin Zhang of the Department of Systems Biology, who have been awarded tenure and promoted to associate professor. Their new appointments are effective July 1, 2019.
Congratulations to Phyllis Thangaraj, an MD/PhD student in the Nicholas Tatonetti lab, for her winning poster session at an event recognizing aspiring physician-scientists from the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. Students in the MD/PhD program training program at Columbia University Irving Medical Center presented their research posters at the 14th annual Student Research Symposium on April 25, and topics included a wide range, such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and stem cells. Thangaraj discussed ongoing research in applying machine learning methods to phenotype acute ischemic stroke patients in electronic health records.
