Matthew Kerr, PhD
Matthew is an alum of ICM Associate Director Sridevi Sarma’s laboratory, where he conducted research during completion of the BME PhD program. Dr. Kerr is a Senior Scientist in the Department of Real-World Evidence and Digital Health at Abbott.
Joe Bender, PhD
Joe completed the BME PhD program while doing research in the lab of ICM core faculty member, Feilim Mac Gabhann. Dr. Bender recently joined United Therapeutics as their Computational Lab Director where he looks forward to applying a broad range of modeling methodologies to innovative work in drug development and organ transplantation.
Laura Doyle Gauthier, PhD
Laura completed her PhD research in the lab of ICM Director, Raimond Winslow. Dr. Gauthier is the Associate Director of Germline Methods, Data Sciences Platform, at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT where she is working on a pipeline to jointly analyze 8 petabytes of genomic data. To put that in perspective, 8 petabytes is about 140 million hours of streaming music and more than twice the size of the entire Netflix catalog in 2013.
