Senior🎓
Top SchoolWolfgang Pernice is an Assistant Professor of Neurological Sciences at Columbia University who blends cell and mitochondrial biology, medical genetics, machine learning, and distributed ledger technology to accelerate precision medicine for neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases. Over eight years of academic and research experience culminate in a trajectory from PhD candidate to postdoc to faculty within Columbia’s neurology and pathology programs. He runs the Laboratory for Digital Biology, translating basic biomedical insights into computational and tech-enabled tools for rare disease diagnosis and intervention. His work uniquely pairs rigorous wet-lab expertise with computational methods and blockchain concepts to tackle clinical bottlenecks that traditional pipelines miss. A decorated early career scientist (iGEM team lead, multiple academic honors) he brings both entrepreneurial energy and deep technical rigor to interdisciplinary translational projects. Based in New York, he combines top-tier training from Imperial College and Columbia with hands-on leadership in rare disease research.
