Sudeshna Das, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS). She directs the Data Core of the Massachusetts Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (MADRC) and the MGH Biomedical Informatics Core. Her research focuses on applying statistical inference and machine learning to high-dimensional molecular -omics datasets and healthcare big-data to advance brain research in health and disease. She develops and applies deep learning algorithms to electronic health records for Alzheimer’s disease research and uses causal-inferencing techniques to emulate in-silico trials for drug repurposing for dementia. She collaborates closely with physician-scientists to understand the mechanistic basis of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders.
