Assistant Professor @nyugrossman. Genetics, evolution and biology of complex traits and diseases.
New York, NY
Joined July 2015
I'm thrilled that my lab at NYU is now supported by an NIH MIRA grant! I'm looking to hire 1-2 senior lab members (outstanding postdoc candidates or experienced staff scientists) with expertise in computational and statistical methods in human genetics or genomics. Please share!.

It was fun writing this short piece on the omnigenic model. Sharing it here, though it's a painful time as my family, along with millions of others, is at risk in Iran and the region.

I've been singing with the Bronx County Chorus since 2015. It's a beautiful, intergenerational community bringing free music to the Bronx since the 1930s. With grants shrinking, they now need support to keep going. If you can, please consider helping:
