Biography
Yuri Pritykin is an assistant professor of computer science and genomics at Princeton University and an associate member at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. He received Ph.D. in computer science from Princeton University and M.Sc. and Ph.D. in mathematics from Lomonosov Moscow State University and did postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. His lab develops computational methods for design and analysis of high-throughput functional genomic assays and perturbations, with a focus on multi-modal single-cell, spatial and genome editing technologies, and applies these methods to study regulatory genomics of cell function and cell-cell interactions in vivo, with a focus on immunology and cancer. He is the recipient of AACR-Bristol-Myers Squibb Immuno-oncology Research Fellowship (2019), NIAID DP2 New Innovator Award (2022) and NSF CAREER Award (2023).
