Lab

Andrea Califano

Evan Paull is lead bioinformatician and associate research scientist in the Califano lab. He joined the group in 2016, bringing expertise in pathway modeling and integration of proteomics with genomics data in cancer. His interest is in understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer biology using mathematical and statistical models that can exploit data from multiple types of biological assays. 

Prior to joining Columbia, Evan obtained his PhD in bioinformatics and biomolecular engineering from the University of California, Santa Cruz, under the mentorship of Dr. Joshua M. Stuart.
