Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVarun Sharma is a computational systems biologist and PhD student at CeMM with nine years of interdisciplinary experience applying deep learning and network medicine to drug discovery and precision health. Trained at ETH Zurich and experienced at institutions including UCSF, Relay and Dewpoint, he blends AI/ML, high-content image analysis and multi-omics network analysis to prioritize therapeutic candidates for neuroinflammation and hyperinflammatory diseases. He is the inventor of patent-pending anti-inflammatory molecules and has developed unsupervised and Siamese deep learning approaches to enable semi-supervised screening with limited labels. Comfortable at the interface of biology and engineering, Varun has built NLP and representation-learning tools for protein complex function prediction and large-scale proteomics analysis. Based in Vienna, he seeks cutting-edge opportunities that leverage computational systems approaches to translate biological insight into actionable therapeutics.
