The (ISCB) , Associate Professor in ºÚÁÏרÇø’s Lane Center for Computational Biology and Machine Learning Department.
The Overton Prize is awarded annually to an early- to mid-career scientist who has made a significant contribution to the field of computational biology. In recognition of the award, Bar-Joseph will give a keynote address this July at the annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) in Long Beach, Calif.
Bar-Joseph applies machine learning, statistical algorithms and signal processing techniques to the analysis of high-throughput biological data. He has led international research efforts that have identified genes important to human cell division, including a subset associated with cancer cells, which have uncovered new insights into gene regulatory networks.
