Speaker Profile
PhD, Associate Professor, Stanford
Biography
Anshul Kundaje's primary research area is large scale computational regulatory genomics. The Kundaje lab specializes in developing statistical and machine learning methods for large scale integrative analysis of heterogeneous, highthroughput functional genomic and genetic data to decipher regulatory elements and long range regulatory interactions, learn predictive regulatory network models across individuals, cell types and species and improve detection and interpretation of natural and disease associated 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.
