Associate Professor
Weill Cornell Medicine
Andrea Sboner, PhD, is the Director of Informatics and Computational Biology at the Englander Institute of Precision Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. His research interests are in translational medicine with a focus on precision medicine for improving patient care. From a clinical viewpoint, he supervised the design and implementation of the informatics infrastructure in the Clinical Genomics Laboratory at Weill Cornell Medicine as well as the computational pipeline for the lab NGS testing. The Clinical Genomics Laboratory was the first lab to offer a CLIA-approved whole exome sequencing test to patients with advanced cancer. From a research perspective, he focuses on the application of new precision medicine technologies for discovery and education, including processing and analysis of NGS assays such as RNA-seq, WGS, as well as applications of virtual and augmented reality, machine learning, and mobile applications to collect patient-reported information.
