Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAugustin Luna is an investigator with 15 years of experience applying network- and pathway-focused computational methods to understand drug response and cancer biology, now at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda. He develops reproducible bioinformatics tools and R packages (e.g., paxtoolsR, rcellminer, cgdsr) and builds web applications that integrate Pathway Commons, TCGA, NCI-60, and other large resources to identify drug–target interactions and combinations. His work spans statistical and mechanistic modeling, ODE-based systems, and standardized data representations such as BioPAX and SBGN, enabling broad data sharing and reuse. He has a track record of mentoring student projects and promoting community standards, and he pairs deep computational rigor from a Boston University PhD with practical software engineering for translational research.
