Shilpa Nadimpalli Kobren


I'm a Research Fellow in Biomedical Informatics at Harvard University. My research focuses on leveraging genome-scale sequencing data with clinical health record data to derive insights on the molecular mechanisms underlying rare human diseases in Dr. Isaac Kohane's lab.

Previously as a Computer Science Ph.D. student at Princeton University, my research focused on detecting and interpreting protein interaction and cellular network perturbations within and across organisms in Prof. Mona Singh's lab. As an undergraduate at Tufts University, I worked with Prof. Lenore Cowen on improving methods for protein structural alignments.

I enjoy traveling, tulips, and pumpkin muffins.

Other Activities

Most recently, I am serving as a co-chair for the Pattern Recognition session at PSB 2020. I am also a primary organizer for the bioinformatics working group in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. Previously, I've served as a student activity co-chair for ACM BCB 2017 in Boston. I've also served as the Computer Science Representative and an Events Board member on Princeton's Graduate Student Government (2011-2014), as President of Jewish Graduate Students and Young Professionals (2012-2014), and as a member of Princeton's Graduate Women in Science and Engineering (2011-2018). I am an undergraduate mentor through Harvard's WiSTEM Program and a college interviewer through Tufts' Alumni Admissions Program.
