AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Fred Gruber is a Principal Scientist at GNS Healthcare, where he develops
computational and statistical models integrating different types of clinical and genomic
datasets with the goal of discovering new potential drug targets, understanding mechanisms
of disease, and, in general, helping answer the research questions from clients in the
pharmaceutical and health industries. He is involved with every stage of the process from data
preprocessing to model construction and interpretation. Fred has over 10 years of academic
and industry experience developing and implementing algorithms for extracting and making
sense of different types of data. His expertise includes machine learning predictive models,
causal inference, statistical signal processing, inverse problems theory, and simulation and
modeling of systems.
Fred holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the Technological
University of Panamá, a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering specializing in modeling
and simulation of systems from the University of Central Florida, and a Ph.D. in Electrical
Engineering from Northeastern University.
