Acerca del autor

Raul Rabadan is a Professor at Columbia University, New York. He is Director of the Program for Mathematical Genomics at Columbia University, New York, and the NCI Physics and Oncology Center for Topology of Cancer Evolution and Heterogeneity. Dr Rabadan received his Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics in 2001 and went on to conduct research at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) in Switzerland, and at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), Princeton, New Jersey. At Columbia University, he leads a highly interdisciplinary laboratory with researchers from the fields of mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, and medicine, with the common goal of solving biomedical problems through quantitative computational models. Andrew J. Blumberg is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Texas, Austin. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago under the supervision of Peter May and Michael Mandell, and was later a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, California. He also spent a year as a member at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), Princeton, New Jersey. His pure mathematics research focuses primarily on homotopy theory and algebraic topology and his applied research focuses on the development of topological and geometric techniques for studying genomic data.
