Priyanka Banerjee

Dr. Priyanka Banerjee is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Physiology, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. As a principal investigator, she specializes in computational modeling of food allergens, drug-like compound safety assessment, and data-driven analysis of patient health records. Her work bridges Computational Biology and Medical Informatics, aiming to reduce animal testing and advance patient-centered therapies.

• Education: PhD in Life Sciences from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2013), MSc in Life Science Informatics from Bonn and Heidelberg.
• Collaborations: Works with the DFG-funded Clinical Research Unit (CRU) and participates in the SPARK-BIH program for translating research into clinical applications.

Her research leverages Data Mining techniques to analyze electronic health records and identify correlations in food allergy mechanisms, particularly focusing on protein structure analysis for allergenic potential prediction.

Priyanka actively promotes Berlin's scientific ecosystem through her role as a Brain City Ambassador, advocating for international academics and interdisciplinary innovation.
