(He/Him) PhD in biology, focused on mathematics and programming. Working in human genetic variant analysis and software development. Also an amateur photographer on my local hiking trails. Pro science, anti MAGA.
It's #rarediseaseday and the White House doesn't believe in science.
I'm working everyday to find the genetic causes of disease. Just this week one of our tools uncovered a structural variant that solves a difficult case.
This work isn't possible without indirect funds that come from #NIH grants.
