Speaker
John Bachman
Fellow in Therapeutic Science, Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School
Dr. John Bachman is a Fellow in Therapeutic Science at Harvard Medical School's Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology. His research focuses on the development of computational tools for understanding the behavior of complex biological systems, and the application of these tools to studying problems of cellular decision-making in health and disease. In his most recent work he co-developed the Integrated Network and Dynamical Reasoning Assembler (INDRA) to automate the construction of explanatory biological models from natural language and scientic literature. John received his Ph.D. in Systems Biology from Harvard University working in the lab of Dr. Peter Sorger, where he combined wet-lab experimentation and computational modeling to address unresolved mechanistic questions in programmed cell death. Before obtaining his Ph.D. John worked as a scientist for four years at the Cambridge, MA, research software company Charles River Analytics. At CRA he worked on several projects for the Army and Air Force Research Labs using simulation and knowledge management tools to improve human decision making.
