Caroline Uhler

Caroline Uhler co-directs the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute. She is also Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society at MIT.

Uhler develops machine learning methods for integrating and translating between vastly different data modalities and inferring causal or regulatory relationships from such data. She is particularly interested in using these methods to gain mechanistic insights into the link between genome packing and regulation in health and disease.

Uhler is recognized as a creative and innovative researcher at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and biology. She has received multiple prestigious career prizes including a Simons Investigator Award, a Sloan Research Fellowship, a Sofja Kovalevskaja Award, and an NSF Career Award.
