Senior🎓
Top SchoolJessilyn Dunn is a Principal Investigator and Assistant Professor at Duke University with a decade of experience building tools and infrastructure for integrating multi-modal biomedical data to enable precision approaches for early disease detection and prevention. She leads the BIG IDEAs Lab, applying statistical and computational methods to fuse wearables, mobile health, multi-omics, and electronic health record data into predictive models. Trained as a biomedical engineer with deep wet-lab and bioinformatics roots—from cardiovascular epigenomics to NGS pipeline work—she bridges molecular biology and longitudinal digital phenotyping. Her work emphasizes translation: scalable data frameworks that support personalized intervention and real-world clinical utility. Notably, she combines hands-on experimental insight with reproducible computational pipelines, an uncommon pairing that strengthens both model interpretability and biological relevance.
