Dr. Gwênlyn Glusman is a Principal Scientist at the Institute for Systems Biology. She received her PhD in computational genomics from the Weizmann Institute of Sciences. Her graduate work focused on the genomic structure and evolution of the olfactory receptor gene superfamily.
Dr. Glusman uses computational approaches to investigate genome structure, function and evolution, and to study disease and wellness genetics. She has developed novel algorithms for gene discovery; for the ultrafast comparison and interpretation of large-scale transcriptomic and genomic data; for family genomics of common disease, rare diseases, and neonatal developmental disorders; and for analysis, modeling and visualization of complex data. Since 2017, she has contributed to the NCATS Biomedical Data Translator project as MPI, with emphasis on modeling and integration of multiomic and clinical trials data.
