Gil Alterovitz's research interests involve development of novel, interdisciplinary approaches that bridge engineering and medicine. Specifically, he is involved in developing methods for studying biological networks and signal processing within proteomics. He initiated the Proteomics and Cellular Network Engineering Grouplet. His work has been published or presented in more than two dozen places- ranging from academic journals and books to international conferences (see publications). He has been invited to write the "Proteomics" section for the upcoming Wiley Encyclopedia of Biomedical Engineering (2006). He is editor of the new text: Systems Bioinformatics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach (2007).
