Ziv Bar-Joseph, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at GenBio AI, is an accomplished leader in computational biology, bioinformatics, and machine learning. As CSO he leads the integration, science and application departments and is in charge of external partnerships. Prior to joining GenBio AI he led AI and Computational Sciences for R&D at Sanofi, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies. He was also the FORE Systems Professor of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, with appointments in the Machine Learning Department and the Computational Biology Department within the School of Computer Science.
In his academic work Bar-Joseph led the Systems Biology Group at CMU, which developed methods that span experimental design, data integration, and large-scale biological modeling. He also directed large national computational centers focused on aging and on 3D reconstruction of the human body at the single cell level. At Sanofi he focused on using AI and ML for improving our understanding of biological systems and for drug design. His work bridges computation and biology, with specific focus on how biological principles should be used to inform computational model design.
Bar-Joseph is the recipient of the 2012 Overton Prize in Computational Biology, recognizing his contributions to advancing the field. He is also the recipient of the NSF CAREER award and several best paper awards.
In his spare time, Ziv enjoys long-distance running, travel and reading.
