Natasa Przulj BSc, MSc, PhD, MAE

Prof. Przulj is recognized for initiating extraction of biomedical knowledge from the wiring patterns (topology, structure) of "Big Data" real-world molecular (omics) and other networks. That is, she views the wiring patterns of large and complex omics networks, disease ontologies, clinical patient data, drug-drug and drug-target interaction networks etc., as a new source of information that complements the genetic sequence data and needs to be mined and meaningfully integrated to gain deeper biomedical understanding. Her recent work includes designing machine learning methods for integration of heterogeneous biomedical and molecular data, applied to advancing biological and medical knowledge. She also applies her methods to economics.
