Sebastiano Cultrera di Montesano
Incoming Postdoc @Broad Institute | PhD @ISTA
I am an incoming postdoctoral fellow at the EWSC, a center bridging
AI and biology at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. I obtained my
PhD in computational topology at the Institute of Science and Technology
Austria, working under the supervision of Prof. Edelsbrunner.
I am interested in how cells organize spatially to form complex
tissues. Which aspects of the geometry and topology of these cellular
arrangements are necessary for tissue function?
I also like to think about how to turn research insights into products that
can directly impact patients. This is a difficult problem as it involves and
combines scientific, regulatory and business challenges, some of which
I had the chance to witness while conducting research at a French
biotech scaleup called Owkin and at the XBIO program.
Before arriving in Vienna in 2018, I completed my master’s degree at
the University of Cambridge and my undergraduate degree at the
University of Glasgow, both in pure mathematics. Here is a copy of my CV.
