Dr. Safee Ullah Chaudhary

Associate Professor, Life Sciences

Safee Ullah Chaudhary received his B.S. in computer systems engineering from the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, Topi, Pakistan in 2002. He spent the next four years at Ultimus Inc (HQ NC) serving in the software development group. He was the team leader for the design and development of Ultimus XML Formula Engine. He then proceeded to South Korea for graduate studies and obtained an M.S. and Ph.D. in 2008 and 2013, respectively. His doctoral research at the Department of Bio. & Brain Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), was focused on computational modeling of multiscale cancer systems biology. He took an agent-based (multi-agent) approach to model tumorigenesis and uncovered the role of cell death in the Warburg Effect. This work also led to the development of the Electronic Cancer System (ELECANS), which is a next-generation modeling platform for applications in cancer systems biology. In 2014, he joined the Department of Biology at LUMS where he established the Biomedical Informatics & Engineering Research Laboratory (BIRL) which is now involved in the development of cutting edge techniques and software for applications in computational proteomics, systems biology and mobile health.
