Biography
Pablo G. Camara, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania and a faculty member of the Institute for Biomedical Informatics and the AI2D Center for AI and Data Science for Integrated Diagnostics. His research focuses on the cellular and molecular organization of the brain and brain tumors, utilizing mathematical principles to analyze high-dimensional omics and imaging data.
He received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and continued his postdoctoral work at École Polytechnique (France), the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN, Switzerland), and the University of Barcelona. Fascinated by open fundamental questions in biomedicine, he shifted his focus to quantitative biology in 2014 as a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He joined the University of Pennsylvania as a faculty member in 2018, where he is developinggeometry- and topology-based algorithms for integrating and analyzingsingle-cell omics, cytometry, and imaging data, and using them to elucidate the cellular ecosystem and oncogenic pathways of glioma, and to characterize the functional properties of CAR-T cell immunotherapies.
