Pablo Cárdenas Ramírez is an incoming assistant professor at the R.F. Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Cornell University, starting in the summer of 2026. Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, Pablo earned his undergraduate degree from Universidad de los Andes, gaining experience in computational, experimental, and field work within biology. After leaving Bogotá, he conducted research in France and obtained his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Department of Biological Engineering, where he developed synthetic computational biology techniques for manipulating malaria parasites to study pathogen epidemiology and evolution. Currently, he works as a postdoctoral fellow at the Ragon Institute of Harvard Medical School researching influenza immunity evolution. At Cornell, he will lead the Multiscale Evolutionary Engineering Lab, developing experimental computational methods to engineer evolution in a quantitative, systematic, and predictive manner, applying insights across various fields including bioengineering, therapeutic design, immunoengineering, infectious disease, cancer, and microbiome engineering.
