Elizabeth Brunk

Elizabeth Brunk is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine, holding dual appointments in the Departments of Pharmacology and Chemistry. Her research focuses on developing computational methods to enhance the clarity and utility of omics data in biomedical science, particularly for understanding the relationship between genetic/molecular variation and phenotypic outcomes in cancer.

• She integrates genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to study 3D mutation hotspots in protein structures.
• Her lab explores drug response mechanisms and cellular regulation at multiple biological scales.
• Research spans both natural and engineered cellular systems, leveraging machine learning and cross-scale data integration.
