Senior🎓
Top SchoolHimel Mallick is a tenure-track principal investigator at Cornell University with nearly two decades of expertise in statistics, biostatistics, and AI/ML applied to translational biomedical problems. He builds cross-disciplinary teams that fuse systems biology, multi-omics and machine learning to accelerate target identification and biomarker discovery, translating complex biological data into clinically actionable insights. Before academia, he led end-to-end biomarker and single-cell/spatial transcriptomics initiatives at Merck and developed widely used open-source tools (MaAsLin 2 and MelonnPan) during his postdoc at Harvard/Broad. Trained with a Ph.D. in Biostatistics from UAB and graduate degrees from IIT Kanpur and University of Calcutta, he blends rigorous Bayesian methodology with practical deployment in industry and public health cohorts. Notably, his software contributions have been downloaded and cited extensively, reflecting both methodological depth and real-world impact.
