Biological data scientist M. Madan Babu named 2025 Ulf von Euler Lecturer
Dr M. Madan Babu, this year's Ulf von Euler lecturer, wants to understand how cells control and regulate their various functions. Through his research, he hopes to reveal why certain diseases arise when the regulation in cells does not function as it should. Dr Babu works at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, USA.
As one of the world’s foremost experts in biological data science and systems biology, Dr. Babu serves as chief data scientist and senior vice president for data science at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, USA.
His pioneering research has provided groundbreaking insights into protein networks, gene regulation, G protein-coupled receptor function, intrinsically disordered proteins, and cancer genomics. For his contributions, he has received numerous international awards, including the EMBO Gold Medal and the ISCB Innovator Award.
This fall, he will be honored as the Ulf von Euler Lecturer at Karolinska Institutet, where he will share his latest research with both the scientific community and the public.
