Maroun Bou Sleiman, PhD

Interdisciplinary Scientist, Bioinformatician, Geneticist

I am a multidisciplinary researcher with 13+ years of experience at the intersection of biology and computation. I specialize in deciphering complex biological data, with significant publications in immunity, metabolism, and aging. I have experience in providing guidance and mentorship to students and scientists.

I had the chance to manage large-scale projects with pharmaceutical and biotech companies, providing me with unique insights into translational research. In addition, I have developed and implemented advanced data management strategies and IT infrastructure for scientific research.

Currently, I am working on new frameworks for leveraging AI to address critical gaps in biomedical research.
