We have developed next-generation sequencing methods to analyze the output of combinatorial selections as well as comprehensive gene-environment-trait data for affordable personalized medicine. We reprogram human skin-derived pluripotent skin cells to connect cis-regulatory motif variants in populations to allele-specific and cell-type-specific RNA measures and further to causal effects on cell and larger-scale morphologies. We are developing tools for connecting functional microbiomics with (VDJ-ome) immune responses. - ## Program Affiliation [Genetics](/bbs-faculty/genetics) - ## Discipline [Biophysics](/discipline/biophysics) [Computational](/discipline/computational) [Genomics](/discipline/genomics) [Technology Development](/discipline/technology-development) - ## Organism [Bacterial Pathogens](/organism/bacterial-pathogens) [Model Bacteria](/organism/model-bacteria) [S. cerevisiae](/organism/s-cerevisiae) [Maize](/organism/maize) [Human](/organism/human) - ## People [Faculty](/people/faculty) - ## Location [Harvard Medical School](/location/harvard-medical-school)
