Braian Peetoom, MD, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Baranzini Lab in the Department of Neurology at UCSF.
He received his medical degree from the National University of La Plata, where he developed a strong interest in translational and data-driven biomedical research.
His main work focuses on metabolomics, metagenomics, and the iMSMS project, with the goal of better understanding mechanisms involved in multiple sclerosis.
He also collaborates with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, using SPOKE to predict gene targets for CRISPR-based strategies to prevent viral infection.
In parallel, he contributes to efforts involving SPOKE knowledge graph integration and interdisciplinary computational biology projects.
Braian has presented his work at ACTRIMS and is especially interested in combining clinical insight with multi-omics and network-based approaches to disease.
