Profile

Konstantinos Krampis is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Hunter College and Faculty of the Computer Science and Biology Ph.D. programs at CUNY. In addition, he is the Director of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Core within the Cancer Health Disparity Partnership of Hunter College with Temple University / FCCC, and Adjunct Faculty at the Institute of Computational Biomedicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at the J. Craig Venter Institute, and did graduate studies at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech.

Up to now, he has funded his research with multiple awards by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) both as co-PI and PI. With these awards he has performed research and development of scalable bioinformatics solutions, running on compute clusters and the cloud by abstracting the underlying software complexity, enabling portability, scalability and seamless access across computing platforms. In addition, Prof. Krampis has implemented a Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) facility and high-performance bioinformatics computing cluster at CUNY, and novel bioinformatics tools that enable broad application of genomics, in areas ranging from basic biological research to clinical genomics.

His current research focuses on Large Language Models and Artificial Intelligence interpretability, deep learning and machine learning, with applications for personal genomics and broadly in the field of genomic data science.
