Sam Fenske PhD Student Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics (CBB)
Yale University
Interests: single-cell sequencing, deep learning, LLMs, drug discovery, immunology, precision medicine
I'm a first-year PhD student in computational biology at Yale University interested in how to leverage machine learning with large biological datasets to discover novel drug targets and build patient-specific markers of disease.Â
Along with a strong interest in new machine learning approaches, I highly value effective collaboration with experimental scientists producing the data to power such models and clinicians who need to understand how to interpret model predictions. Overall, I seek to use computational tools to help advance therapeutics and patient care.
I was previously a data analyst in the Misharin and Budinger labs at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine after receiving my bachelor of science in biomedical engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.
