The Department of Medical Biophysics is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Shraddha Pai, Assistant Professor.
Dr. Pai’s lab aims to improve data-driven clinical decision-making, through a better understanding of how the genome impacts phenotype at various levels of system organization. Dr. Pai received her B.Math. in Hon. Computer Science (Bioinformatics) from the University of Waterloo. She received her PhD in Biological Sciences from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in NY, USA, using experimental and analytic approaches to identify the brain-basis of short-term memory in the rat model. Dr. Pai’s first postdoctoral fellowship was in epigenetics of human brain and mental illness at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. Her second postdoctoral fellowship was at the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research in Toronto, developing machine learning methods for precision medicine. Dr. Pai is a recipient of the 2014 NARSAD Young Investigator Award, 2014 CIHR Fellowship Award, and the 2019 Donnelly Centre Research Excellence Award for Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Associates, and is a member of the Temerty Centre for AI Research and Education in Medicine (TCAIREM).
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Shraddha Pai to Medical Biophysics.
