Principal investigator
Anthony Gitter
Anthony is an associate professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics and affiliate faculty in the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as the Jeanne M. Rowe Chair at the Morgridge Institute for Research in the John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Center for Research in Virology and Research Computing. He is an affiliate of the Data Science Institute and the Center for Genomic Science Innovation and a member of the UW Carbone Cancer Center Cancer Genetic and Epigenetic Mechanisms Scientific Program.
Anthony's research group uses network modeling to connect genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data and provide a cohesive view of a biological process, with special emphasis on virology and oncology. In addition, they explore machine learning applications in biochemistry, such as computationally-guided chemical screening and protein engineering. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University and was a joint postdoc at Microsoft Research New England and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
