Professors on Precision medicine and Cancer drug discovery

[Farhan Tanvir]

Hello! I am almost done with my PhD in CS at OSU. My research topic is Addressing Drug-related problems (Therapeutics) using Graph Mining Techniques.

I want to pursue a postdoc next year. I want to expand my research to precision medicine or cancer drug discovery. I don't have much knowledge about renowned professors in these area. Can you please recommend some great professors working on precision medicine or cancer drug discovery? It will be a great help.

Congrats on reaching this stage. With your graph mining background, labs in precision medicine and cancer drug discovery are a great fit.

Some top names to look at: Marinka Zitnik (Harvard), Dana Pe’er (Sloan Kettering), Trey Ideker (UCSD), Christina Curtis (Stanford), Olga Troyanskaya (Princeton).

Read a few of their papers, then send short, tailored emails showing how your work connects with theirs. Your skill set is valuable in drug-target networks and precision oncology.
