Summary
Shyam Gopalakrishnan is an Associate Professor at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen, leading a multidisciplinary population and statistical genetics group focused on multi-omics integration and causal pathway discovery in host–microbiome systems. With over a decade of research experience and a PhD in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan, he develops computational tools that stitch together genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metagenomics to map genotype-to-phenotype mechanisms. His team pursues evolutionary genomics of canids alongside method development, blending theoretical statistics with applied evolutionary biology. Previously trained in electrical engineering and with early industry software experience, he brings a rare combination of quantitative rigor, engineering pragmatism, and leadership of a compact international research team.
