Faculty Profile
Irina Gaynanova, PhD
- Associate Professor, Biostatistics
Dr. Gaynanova’s research focuses on the development of statistical methods for analysis
of modern high-dimensional biomedical data. Her methodological interests are in data
integration, machine learning and high-dimensional statistics, motivated by challenges
arising in analyses of multi-omics data (e.g., RNASeq, metabolomics, micribiome) and
data from wearable devices (continuous glucose monitors, ambulatory blood pressure
monitors, activity trackers). Her research has been funded by the National Science
Foundation, and recognized with a David P. Byar Young Investigator Award and an NSF
CAREER Award.
