Professor
University at Buffalo
Dr. Murali Ramanathan is Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Neurology at the University at Buffalo. He is also Affiliate Faculty, Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, and Chief Compliance Officer at the University.
He received his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Francisco, CA, M.S., and B.Tech. degrees in Chemical Engineering from Iowa State University, Ames, IA, and the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, respectively.
Dr. Ramanathan research spans the interface between clinical, pharmaceutical, and computational sciences. His multi-disciplinary research spans two inter-related areas: i) artificial intelligence, quantitative clinical and population pharmacology and, ii) clinical research on the roles of environmental factors in MS progression.
His quantitative pharmacology research has focused on using diverse modeling methodologies ranging from artificial intelligence and machine learning, information theory, graph theory and network analysis, and stochastic modeling to diverse clinical problems relevant to patient care and pharmaceutical development.
His clinical research has focused on multiple sclerosis, a neurological disease that causes physical and cognitive disability, and whose etiology and pathogenesis remain poorly understood. He has made important contributions to understanding the role of environmental factors, particularly lipids in multiple sclerosis disease progression.
