Pranay Goel obtained his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh in 2003. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI), The Ohio State University from 2003-6 and a Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Biological Modeling, NIDDK, NIH between 2006-8. He has been a faculty member at IISER Pune since 2009.

Research

Mathematical biology; data science in healthcare and medicine

Dr. Pranay Goel is interested in studying biological systems using mathematical (analytical, computational and algorithmic) approaches. His main focus areas are mathematical physiology and type 2 diabetes. He is also interested in data science, and predictive modeling for healthcare and precision (personalized) medicine.
