Rate My Professor Marmar Moussa

Dr. Moussa's research specializations include algorithms, machine learning, data analytics, computational genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, single-cell omics, and cancer immunomics. She has received significant recognition through major awards, including a nearly $1 million NIH K25 Career Development Award from August 2023 to July 2028 for developing computational approaches to elucidate the serrated pathway of human colon carcinogenesis using spatial transcriptomics, and a $533,616 NSF CAREER Award from May 2025 to April 2030 to create algorithms integrating molecular profiling with spatial tissue analysis for studying disease processes like tumor progression. Her key publications encompass Ebrahimi-Nik et al., 'Neoantigen cancer vaccines induce T cell infiltration and exclude immunosuppressive macrophages,' Nature Communications (2021); Bakken et al., 'Evolution of cellular diversity in the mouse cortex,' Nature (2021); Nevin et al., 'Neoepitope-Targeted Cancer Vaccines Elicit Protective Immunity Against Established Melanoma,' Science Immunology (2020); Moussa and Mǎndoiu, 'Scalable Pairwise Whole Genome Alignment,' Journal of Computational Biology (2021); and as editor, Bansal et al., Springer Nature (2022). These contributions advance computational methods in biomedical sciences, particularly cancer research.
