Senior🎓
Top SchoolR Faryabi is an Associate Professor and computational biologist with 11+ years of experience translating cancer epigenetics into therapeutic insight, based at the University of Pennsylvania. His lab combines genome-wide and single-cell assays with novel statistical and machine learning methods to dissect how transcription factors and chromatin folding drive transcriptional addiction in cancer. Trained as a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering with a computational biology focus, he blends engineering rigor with wet-lab curiosity to accelerate biomarker and drug discovery. Notably, his work emphasizes intratumoral chromatin heterogeneity as a determinant of targeted therapy response, pairing high-dimensional experiments with custom computational tools.
