Bromberg was born in Ukraine and moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1992, aged 11. [2] Bromberg graduated with a BA in biology and a BEng in computer science from Stony Brook University in 2001. She later gained an MPhil (2004) and PhD (2007) in biomedical informatics from Columbia University. [3] Her thesis, on predicting the effects of SNPs on protein function, was supervised by Burkhard Rost.
Bromberg's research interests include protein function prediction and artificial intelligence. [3]
Bromberg was awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2016. [4] In 2025, Bromberg was named by the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) as an ISCB Fellow. [5] [6]
