Meet the team

A group spanning computation, human genetics, and lab operations — working at the interface of genomes and drug response.

Natalie Park
// Principal Investigator

Natalie Park, PhD

Natalie Park leads Park Lab's research in computational pharmacology, building data-driven methods that connect human genetic variation to drug response. Her work spans pharmacogenomics, haplotype analysis, and precision-medicine tools that help translate genomic diversity into safer, more effective treatment.

Larisa Soumertol
PhD Student

Larisa Soumertol, MSc

Computational biologist working at the interface of human genetics, molecular biology, and pharmacology. They analyze large-scale genome and haplotype data to identify genetic factors that influence therapeutic response, helping to reveal why individuals and populations respond differently to the same treatment.
