Our research lab develops machine learning methods with broad goals of data integration and model interpretation for biological and biomedical applications.
Clockwise: Jeremy Bigness, Pinar Demetci, Ritambhara Singh, Michal Golovanevsky, Amina Abdullahi, Hyeyeon Hwang, Jiaqi Zhang, Atishay Jain, Ghulam Murtaza, Haider Asif, Hossam Zaki, Madeline Hughes, Justin Sanders.
Join our lab!
The lab is looking for highly motivated students, with strong computational skills, who are excited about developing data-driven approaches to solve important problems in biology and health sciences.
Required skills for lab members include basic UNIX/Linux competency and programming ability (preferably in Python). Coursework or project experience in machine learning and/or deep learning is highly preferred.
Prospective students, please apply directly to the CCMB or CS graduate programs at Brown and mention me in your application (no e-mails please!).
If you are at Brown and interested in joining the lab or a researcher interested in collaborating with us, please e-mail ritambhara@brown.edu.
Interested students at Brown are highly recommended to attend my Deep Learning in Genomics course in the Fall (CSCI 2952-G) or Deep Learning course in the Spring (CSCI 1470/2470).
