Imon Banerjee
Basic Life Science Research Scientist, Biomedical Data Science-Administration
Bio Imon Banerjee is currently working as a Research Scientist at the Biomedical Data Science Dept. Starting from 2016, she was a Post-doctoral scholar in the Laboratory of Quantitative Imaging at Stanford university. She received her Ph.D. from The University of Genova, Italy in 2016. During her Ph.D., she received Marie Curie European fellowship and worked as an early-stage researcher at The Institute for Applied Mathematics and Information Technologies, National Research Council, Italy. During her Ph.D., she developed novel techniques for building patient-specific 3D computational models. She completed her Master thesis in The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva. Her research is focused on developing unstructured data analysis and big data mining techniques to support clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Francisco De La Vega
Adjunct Professor, Biomedical Data Science-Administration
Bio Prof. Francisco M. De La Vega is a geneticist and computational biologist with interests in cancer, population, and clinical genomics, and with extensive experience in the life sciences industry. He is a Distinguished Scientific Fellow and Vice President of Bioinformatics and at TOMA Biosciences, a privately held start-up company commercializing a technology for precision oncology derived from inventions at Stanford. Francisco is also Adjunct Professor in the Department of Biomedical Data science of the Stanford School of Medicine, a Director of the International Society of Computational Biology, and is or has been a member of the Steering Committee of the NIST-led Genome-in-a-Bottle consortium, the PanCancer Analysis of Whole Genomes project of the ICGC, and the Steering Committee of the 1000 Genomes Project. He has more recently contributed to start-up companies in the life sciences area in positions such as CSO (Annai Systems) and VP of Genomics (Real Time Genetics, Omicia). Previously, he spent over 13 yeas at Applied Biosystems (later Life Technologies and currently Thermo-Fisher), where he played a pivotal role in the development of several successful genetic analysis technologies. For this, he was inducted in 2009 to the Innovation & Invention Society of Life Technologies, a program that recognized the company’s most elite inventors, and in 2008 was a co-recipient of the Bio-IT World Best Practices Award in Basic Research.
