Pedro J. Ballester PhD

Dr. Pedro Ballester is a Royal Society Wolfson Fellow and Associate Professor at Imperial College London, leading the Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare research group. His work focuses on investigating effective computational tools, grounded in machine learning and specialized pattern-recognition techniques, to analyze and predict how small molecules modulate protein and cellular function. These methods have been applied to translational challenges in drug discovery and broader healthcare problems. He joined Imperial after an Assistant Professorship at INSERM in France, following postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and the European Bioinformatics Institute in the UK.
