Alumni

Former Ma’ayan Lab PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, bioinformaticians, and computational systems biologists have authored or co-authored publications in leading journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, Nature Genetics, Nature Medicine, Bioinformatics and Science Signaling. The Ma’ayan Lab alumni have gone to leadership positions in industry and have also been recruited to academic positions. Several of our bioinformatics and computational systems biology research trainees have entered PhD programs at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, Duke, Cornell, and University of Pennsylvania.
