Marinka Zitnik

Assistant Professor at Harvard University

I am a postdoctoral research fellow in Computer Science at Stanford University where I work with Jure Leskovec and collaborate closely with major biomedical research departments worldwide. I am also a Chan Zuckerberg Biohub postdoctoral researcher.

My research investigates machine learning for biomedical sciences, focusing on large networks of interactions between biomedical entities--e.g., proteins, drugs, diseases, and patients. I leverage these networks at the scale of billions of interactions among millions of entities and develop new methods blending machine learning with statistical methods and network science.

I use my methods to answer burning scientific questions, such as how Darwinian evolution changes molecular networks, and how data-driven algorithms can accelerate scientific discovery.
