Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMykhaylo Malakhov is a postdoctoral scholar in epidemiology and population health with 11 years of quantitative research experience, combining a PhD-level foundation in biostatistics with deep expertise in genetic epidemiology and computational biology. He develops and implements statistical methods—such as COWAS and DRAB—and novel Mendelian randomization approaches to integrate polygenic scores, gene/protein co-expression, and aging effects to unravel mechanisms of neurodegenerative and complex diseases. At Stanford and previously at the University of Minnesota, he has bridged academia and industry (Denali) to build cloud-ready GWAS infrastructures and translate methodological advances into biomarker-informed screening and subtyping. Trained as a mathematician with a near-perfect academic record, he pairs theoretical rigor with hands-on data engineering and collaborative science across interdisciplinary teams. Notably, his work highlights nonlinear and context-specific genetic regulation, an often-overlooked axis when linking omics to disease.
