Training

A revolution is underway in how we decode biological systems. Now more than ever before biological insight is being driven by Big Data generation and machine learning. Our group is uniquely situated at the interface of molecular genetics, synthetic genomics, and machine learning. We provide a unique training environment, with opportunities to greatly expand your areas of expertise.

Make a difference!

Although we are most interested in the fundamental problem of gene regulation, the potential downstream impact on human health is enormous! Genetic variation in regulatory regions is thought to contribute to just about every complex inherited disease. These include autoimmune disease, heart disease, and cancer.
