  • Herbert Irving Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics

Overview

Dr. Gamze Gürsoy is a Herbert Irving Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and a core member of the New York Genome Center. She is also affiliated with the Department of Computer Science.

Dr. Gürsoy's research group develops privacy-preserving tools to analyze and understand large-scale omics data in relation to diseases and phenotypes with a particular interest in developing software, file formats, and pipelines that enable broad sharing and analysis of sensitive genotypic and phenotypic data in public servers. Her lab also develops tools to map the regulatory wiring of the chromatin to interrogate the effect of three-dimensional organization of genomes on molecular phenotypes. The computational work in the lab is supported by experimental approaches, creating opportunities for trainees in cross-disciplinary studies.

Dr. Gürsoy earned her PhD in bioinformatics from the University of Illinois at Chicago and completed her BSc in Chemical Engineering at Bogaziçi University in Istanbul.
