Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPinar Demetci is a computational biology researcher and Schmidt Center Postdoctoral Fellow at the Broad Institute and MIT, specializing in probabilistic and statistical algorithms for single-cell multi-omics integration. With 11 years of research and engineering experience spanning PhD work at Brown and internships at Microsoft, she develops methods using optimal transport, MMD, and manifold alignment to tackle disproportionate cell-type representation and noisy high-dimensional biomedical data. Her work blends rigorous theory with practical pipelines—evidenced by multiple publications and contributions like SCOT—that aim to advance genomics for precision medicine. Based in Cambridge, she seeks research-heavy roles where she can continue translating cutting-edge machine learning into tools for real-world biological discovery.
