I am the Associate Director for the Center for Epigenomics at UCSD. As one of the Center’s leaders and principal scientists, I strive to collaborate with teams to apply our epigenomic technology platforms towards ambitious research goals. To accomplish this, I leverage my experience leading teams and integrating multiple disciplines such as developmental biology, stem cell engineering, epigenomics, and human genetics. For example, during my research career, I have leveraged epigenomic data to identify mechanisms for classic developmental processes and to uncover novel mechanisms for type 2 diabetes risk. In my current role, I use this expertise and experience to drive numerous active collaborative projects. These include projects focused on understanding human brain function using functional organoids, the molecular basis of human liver diseases such as NASH, and investigating lung cell-type diversity as part of LungMAP.
