Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharles Blatti is a research scientist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at UIUC with over a decade of experience bridging computer science and computational biology. He earned his PhD in Computer Science from UIUC, followed by a postdoc at the NIH-funded KnowEnG BD2K Center, and now develops integrative methods that combine heterogeneous prior knowledge with multi-omics data to model biological mechanisms behind development, perturbation responses, and social behavior. His work emphasizes concise regulatory characterization of co-expressed gene sets using minimal, complementary transcriptomic, epigenomic, and computational datasets. Based in Urbana, he pairs deep algorithmic training with practical, reproducible analysis on supercomputing infrastructure, making complex systems interpretable rather than merely predictive. A less obvious strength is his sustained role in teaching and mentorship across computational genomics and theoretical CS during his long tenure at UIUC, which informs both his collaborative and translational research approach.
