Sabina Stefan

I am a computational biologist and postdoctoral fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, particularly interested in multidisciplinary research utilizing machine learning techniques and genomic technologies. I'm passionate about science, problem-solving, and finding new ways to gather insight from data. My current research is focussed on predicting outcome and treatment response in medulloblastoma on a patient-by-patient basis. Previously, I obtained my PhD at Brown University in Biomedical Engineering, where I developed tools to quantify properties pertaining to the cerebral vasculature, especially using Optical Coherence Tomography. I then implemented these methods along with statistical analysis in the longitudinal tracking of cerebral vasculature in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease in model mice. Prior to that, I obtained undergraduate degrees in Physics and Applied Mathematics (with an honors degree in Bioinformatics) at the University of Cape Town.
