Center for Molecular and Cellular Biology

Professor Georgii Bazykin

Elena received her Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2007 from Princeton University where she studied function and organization of protein interaction networks.  As a postdoc, she studied yeast models of neurodegenerative disease.  After joining Georgii Bazykin’s lab, she worked with Next-Generation Sequencing data in biomedical studies, including cancer and hereditary retinal disease.  Her most recent projects include writing a novel evolutionary simulator and studying the genetic causes of miscarriage.
