Jonathan Somer
MD/PhD candidate - Electrical & Computer Engineering, Molecular Cell Biology
I’m a Hacker-Scientist working on the next generation of Cancer treatments.
While the challenge should always dictate the approach, my skills and areas of interest include:
- Machine Learning & Statistics
- Dynamical Systems
- Control Theory & Reinforcement Learning
- Molecular Biology
- High-throuput omics analysis
My vision of precision cancer therapy builds upon principles from control theory and dynamical systems. The first step I’ve taken along this path is developing One-Shot Tissue Dynamics Reconsruction (OSDR) an approach for inferring a dynamical model of a tumor, using just a single biopsy. More to come soon!
