Vanathi Gopalakrishnan, PhD

Dr. Gopalakrishnan is interested in the development of intelligent computational aids for clinical proteomic data mining. Her research encompasses the application of symbolic machine learning techniques to the mining of structural and genomic databases in order to learn useful models and associations. She has established a productive collaboration over the last two years with Dr. Bowser involving cerebrospinal fluid profiling of ALS and has assisted with proteomic data mining of the mass spectra to identify disease-specific biomarkers. Her long-term interests include learning of useful models for predicting disease onset and progression from integration of clinical information with genomic and proteomic markers.  (see publications)
