Dosh Whye, MS
Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY
Senior Research Associate
Dosh is a Senior Research Associate in the Stem Cell Core Facility at Columbia University Medical Center. His current interests lie in cutting edge stem cell technologies (such as induced Pluripotent Stem Cells) for disease modeling, drug discovery, and translational research with a focus on neurodegenerative disorders. Dosh holds a Master's degree in Bio-behavioral Sciences (Columbia University, NY). He has specialized training in directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into several cell-type specific lineages (i.e. neural, cardiac). During his free time, Dosh volunteers as a mentor in children's summer camps - most recently as a camp counselor for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), where he served as a primary caregiver and counselor to teenage boys with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). |
Federico M. Giorgi, PhD
Columbia University Medical Center, New York, NY
Research Associate
Federico is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University. Federico is an experienced computational biologist and his main research interest focuses on how different mutations and gene networks can coalesce in similar deregulation events across different cancer types. He has MSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences and a PhD in Molecular Plant Physiology (Potsdam University, Germany). He is author of more than 20 peer-reviewed publications. |
