Institute for Systems Biology
The Shmulevich Lab was started in 2005 by Dr. Ilya Shmulevich. On April 13, 2024, Professor Shmulevich passed away from complications from acute myeloid leukemia at 54 years old. The ISB community continues to mourn the loss of our beloved and brilliant colleague, but his work lives on. ISB Principal Scientist Dr. Vésteinn Thorsson leads what is now the Thorsson-Shmulevich Lab, which builds on the foundation of research initiated by Dr. Shmulevich. Members of the Thorsson-Shmulevich Lab develop and apply computational and mathematical approaches for modeling biological systems and analyzing large-scale data sets.
Reflecting on the past year, ISB has a lot to celebrate: groundbreaking research published in leading scientific journals, well-earned promotions, widespread media coverage, and more. Enjoy our year-in-review roundup highlighting some of the important, interesting, and impactful highlights of 2024.
