Pedram Bayat

Hi, I’m Pedram, a third-year student at the University of Pennsylvania studying bioengineering. I’m interested in using computational and experimental approaches to better understand how biological systems interact and evolve. I strongly believe that the blend between machine learning and biology can provide a novel approach to many questions left unanswered in human health. My research goal is to build computational and wet-lab tools to enhance the design and understanding of biological systems.

For the past few years, I have had the opportunity to explore my interest through various research and project experiences. My journey started in 2023, where I spent a summer learning how to purify proteins in Roger Kornberg’s lab at Stanford. I later joined Marco Ruella’s lab at Penn, where I have been investigating mechanisms of relapse to CAR-T cell therapy since. I did a brief stint at Hani Goodarzi’s lab at Arc Institute, working on single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Most recently, I have been completing an internship in Genentech’s drug discovery department.

Through this website, I invite you to learn more about me and the work that I have done, including my research work and other projects I’ve worked on. Please feel free to reach out to me at my email or through LinkedIn. You can also view my CV here.
