My name is Mekdes, but I go by Duni. I am originally from Ethiopia. I am currently working in the MacArthur lab more specifically in Rare Genomes Project as a Senior coordinator. I graduated from Gordon College with a B.S. in Biology in 2014. […]
Laura is a computational biologist jointly based in the MacArthur lab and the Broad Institute Data Sciences and Data Engineering (DSDE) platform. She works on the development of variant-calling pipelines for rare disease samples. […]
Julia is a postdoctoral fellow in Daniel MacArthur’s group. She completed her Ph.D. in Genetics in 2016 at Cornell University, examining the role of host genetics in shaping gut microbiome composition. For her postdoctoral work, she is broadly interested in developing methods to improve the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases. Currently, she is focused on […]
