Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Dolan is an Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator and Unit Chief of the Quantitative Virology and Evolution Unit at NIH with 11 years of experience applying computational and experimental methods to virus evolution, infection, and disease. He holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences and Computational Systems Biology from Purdue and has led high-resolution single-cell and viral population sequencing studies that trace adaptive trajectories of RNA viruses in vitro and in vivo. His work blends virology, proteomics, network biology, and advanced statistics to dissect host–virus protein interaction networks and the biophysical constraints shaping viral evolution. A former NIH K99/R00 fellow with postdoctoral training at Stanford and UCSF, he is equally comfortable designing wet-lab experiments and developing computational analyses for transcriptomics and population sequencing. Notably, his dissertation revealed the role of intrinsically disordered host proteins in viral network topology, a thread that continues to inform his quantitative approach to pathogen dynamics.
