Alissa Greenwald, PhD
Principal Investigator, Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital
Alissa is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. She grew up on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Most recently, she was a postdoctoral fellow and then a staff scientist in the lab of Itay Tirosh at the Weizmann Institute of Science, where she fell in love with cancer systems biology. Before that, she completed her PhD in vascular biology in the lab of Eli Keshet at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and her BA in Biological Chemistry at Wellesley College.
As the mother of four children, she is passionate about mentoring and encouraging women to enter and remain in academic science. She believes there is a beautiful synergy between quantitative systems biology approaches, including exploratory data analysis, and hypothesis-driven experimental biology.
