Speaker Profile
Ph.D., Associate Professor, Stanford
Biography
Anshul Kundaje's primary research area is largescale computational regulatory genomics. The Kundaje lab specializes in developing statistical and machine learning methods for largescale integrative analysis of heterogeneous, highthroughput functional genomic and genetic data to decipher regulatory elements and longrange regulatory interactions, learn predictive regulatory network models across individuals, celltypes and species and improve detection and interpretation of natural and diseaseassociated genetic variation. Previously as a postdoc at Stanford and Research Scientist at MIT, Anshul was the lead computational analyst of the ENCODE Project and the Roadmap Epigenomics Project. Anshul is also a recipient of the 2016 NIH Director's New Innovator Award and the 2014 Alfred Sloan Fellowship.
