Anshul Kundaje, PhD – Stanford University – “Using deep learning models to debug regulatory genomics experiments and decode cis-regulatory syntax”
April 22 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Speaker: Anshul Kundaje, PhD
Affiliation: Stanford University
Position: Associate Professor, Genetics and Computer Science
Anshul Kundaje is Associate Professor of Genetics and Computer Science at Stanford University. His primary research area is large-scale computational regulatory genomics. The Kundaje lab develops deep learning models of gene regulation and model interpretation methods to decipher non-coding DNA and genetic variation associated with disease. Dr. Kundaje has led computational efforts to develop widely used resources in collaboration with several NIH consortia including ENCODE, Roadmap Epigenomics and IGVF. Dr. Kundaje is a recipient of the 2016 NIH Director’s New Innovator Award and the 2014 Alfred Sloan Fellowship.
