Heeju Noh studied Chemical and Biological Engineering for her bachelor’s degree at Seoul National University and for her master’s degree at ETH Zurich. While at ETH Zurich, she had the privilege of training in computational modeling and systems biology under the mentorship of Dr. Massimo Morbidelli and Dr. Rudiyanto Gunawan. Her PhD research was dedicated to developing computational methods to predict targets of small compounds using gene regulatory modeling. After completing her PhD, she joined Professor Andre Califano’s lab at Columbia University, where she continued her research as a postdoc and associate research scientist for several years, primarily in the context of drug repurposing and the assessment of toxicity across various projects on cancer and infectious diseases such as SARS-CoV-2. This experience has further fueled her passion for using computational approaches to solve complex problems in biology. Currently, She is a K. Carole Ellison Fellow in the Hood Lab at the Institute for Systems Biology, where her work centers on addressing aging-related health problems. She utilizes systems biology and machine learning to develop innovative solutions to these strategic priorities.
