Ran Cui is a computational scientist in the Neale and Daly lab. Prior to joining the ATGU and Broad, Ran earned her Ph.D. in mathematics from University of Maryland, College Park. She is currently working on improving multiple causal variant fine-mapping methods through better modeling and benchmarking. She is interested in statistical method development for […]
Layla is an MD-PhD student in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program, and is currently doing her PhD in Biophysics at Harvard. She completed her undergraduate work in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard in 2016. Co-mentored by Dr. Eric Lander and Dr. Hilary Finucane, Layla’s work centers on uncovering the underpinnings of regulatory […]
Hannah is a PhD in the Department of Biology at MIT. Co-advised by Hilary Finucane and Chris Burge, her research seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms of psychiatric disorders by investigating non-coding variants that alter pre-mRNA processing and gene expression. […]
As part of a statistical genetics and experimental genomics research group, my work focuses on developing and applying novel methodologies to gain biological insights into genetic association signals. Specifically, I am involved in several projects to improve genetic fine-mapping for biobank-scale GWAS studies. Ultimately, we plan to test these results using massively parallel reporter assays […]
Nathan is formerly an Associate Computational Biologist working in Hilary Finucane’s lab. He is now a Graduate Student attending Harvard University. He is interested in developing methods for extracting functional information about genes, such as coexpression and coregulation, from gene sequencing data. He is also interested in applying the insights that can be learned from […]
Roy is an Associate Computational Biologist in Hilary Finucane’s lab. He works on single and multiple-causal-variant fine-mapping methods. Roy received his B.S. in Computer Science from Yale University in 2019. […]
Hilary Finucane is a Member of Faculty at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital and a Associate Member of the Genetics Program in the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. She holds a BA from Harvard College in mathematics, an MSc from the Weizmann Institute of Science […]
