Core Faculty
Benjamin M. Gyori is Associate Professor at Northeastern University, at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences and the Department of Bioengineering. He is also a Faculty Fellow at the Barnett Institute for Chemical & Biological Analysis.
Before joining Northeastern, he led the Machine-assisted Modeling & Analysis group at the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School. He is the recipient of a DARPA Young Faculty Award for 2020-2022 and the DARPA Director's Fellowship Award for 2022-2023.
Gyori's research is at the intersection of artificial intelligence, systems biology, and bioinformatics, and aims to use computational approaches to understand how biological cells work and react to drugs and environmental signals. His group developed INDRA, a software tool which automatically assembles biochemical mechanisms extracted from the scientific literature into explanatory models. Gyori obtained his Ph.D. in computational systems biology from the National University of Singapore where he worked on probabilistic approaches to modeling uncertainty in biological systems. He is an advocate for open science and open-source scientific software development, having led the development of multiple research software used widely in the computational biology community.
