ARPA-H RAPID proposers day in SF scheduled for tomorrow just cancelled an hour ago citing travel restrictions on HHS personnel. Many (like me!) have already arrived.

Now in KC at Children’s Mercy Hospital working within the GA4K initiative, where we are applying multiomic approaches to rare variant interpretation for the discovery of new genomic mechanisms underlying rare diseases.

Always interested in chatting about collaborations and/or research ideas!

From Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to California 🇺🇸 and Stanford University working on rare variants underlying extreme molecular and disease phenotypes in differentiated tissues (GTEx), development (i2QTL) & in rare diseases (UDN, Stanford Center for Undiagnosed Diseases). Also happy memories hiking the Sierra Nevada.

The journey begins in the Scottish Borders, a rural area of rolling fields and rugged peaks which is often windy and rainy but always beautiful.

Then north to Edinburgh University working on bioinformatics pipelines and statistical methods for large-scale biological data.
