Salil Bhate
I am an Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center Postdoctoral Fellow at the Broad Institute, working with Caroline Uhler.
I work on theoretical and computational approaches to understand how tissues are assembled (e.g., "cellular neighborhoods" and "tissue schematics"), and how they are represented by the genome, in the contexts of development, immunology and cancer.
I obtained my PhD (with thesis titled "Towards semantic representations of tissue organization from high-parameter imaging") in Bioengineering at Stanford University, where my advisor was Garry Nolan. A summary of this research can be found in my talk at the Broad's Models, Inference and Algorithms Initiative.
Before Stanford, I did my undergraduate/master's in pure math(s) at the University of Cambridge, and some synthetic biology.
Here is my google scholar profile and CV [last updated October '23].
I currently co-chair the Steering Committee of Models, Inference and Algorithms. Please join us!
