Rabadan LabRaul Rabadan is the?Gerald and Janet Carrus?Professor in the Departments of?Systems Biology,?Biomedical Informatics?and Surgery at?Columbia University.?He is the director of the Program for Mathematical Genomics (PMG) and the?Center for Topology of Cancer Evolution and Heterogeneity. He established PMG in the fall of 2017 with the goal of bringing together scientists, mathematicians and researchers from multiple disciplines to work toward a quantitative understanding of complex biological systems. From 2001 to 2003, Dr. Rabadan 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. Previously, Dr. Rabadan was 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 has been named one of Popular Science's?Brilliant 10?(2010), a Stewart Trust Fellow (2013), and he received the Harold and Golden Lamport Award at Columbia University (2014). Dr. Rabadan’s current interest focuses on uncovering patterns of evolution in biological systems—in particular, RNA viruses and cancer.

New Book on Understanding the Novel Coronavirus Raul Rabadan, PhD, professor of systems biology and director of Columbia's Program for Mathematical Genomics, has authored a new book that provides readers an accessible overview that quells misinformation about the novel coronavirus, and discusses its origin, causes, and spread.
Announcement
Book Offers Intro to Rapidly Growing Field of Topological Data Analysis The deluge of data in the diverse field of biology comes with it the challenge of extracting meaningful information from large biological data sets. A new book, coauthored by Drs. Raul Rabadan and Andrew J. Blumberg, titled Topological Data Analysis for Genomics and Evolution, introduces central ideas and techniques of topological data analysis and aims to explain in detail a number of specific applications to biology.
