Yana Bromberg

Yana Bromberg is an American computational biologist and professor of bioinformatics at Emory University. She is recognized as a pioneer in applying machine learning for genomic analysis, particularly for developing SNAP (Screening for Non-Acceptable Polymorphisms), a neural network-based method that predicts functional effects of single amino acid substitutions, resulting from missense SNPs, on protein function. Her current research focuses on understanding how protein language model (pLM) embeddings capture biological information and whether these computational representations truly encode the underlying principles of molecular biology.
