Raul Rabadan, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and in the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Rabadan has been the Martin A. and Helen Chooljian Member at The Simons Center for Systems Biology at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. He obtained his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain. From 2001 to 2003 he was a fellow at the Theoretical Physics Division at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2003 he joined the Physics Group of the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Dr. Rabadan’s current interest focuses on patterns of evolution in biological systems, in particular, RNA viruses. For the past several years, there has been a worldwide effort to sequence viral genomes, in particular, HIV and influenza. Dr Rabadan and his colleagues at the Institute have been developing tools to analyze this data, extracting the relevant information to understand the molecular biology, evolution, and epidemiology of these viruses.
