About this Class
Presented as part of the Sequencing Strategies for Population and Cancer Epidemiology Studies (SeqSPACE) Webinar Series
Dr. Kushal Dey is an Assistant Member and Josie Robertson Investigator in the Department of Computational and Systems Biology at the Sloan Kettering Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He is also an Assistant Professor at the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. In this webinar, Dr. Dey will discuss his work at the Kushal Dey Lab, which builds statistical and machine learning models that integrate genetic and genomic data to prioritize variants, genes, and cell types, and to decode the causal functional architecture underlying heritable complex diseases — including immune-related diseases, like Alzheimer’s and inflammatory bowel disease, and heritable cancers, like breast cancer.
