Biografi
Jesse is currently an Assistant Professor at Stanford University in the Department of Genetics and the Children’s Heart Center Basic Sciences and Engineering (BASE) Initiative, and is a recipient of the NHGRI Genomic Innovator Award. He co-leads a Functional Characterization Center at Stanford for the Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) Consortium, and is an Associate Director of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Genomic Mechanisms of Disease at the Broad Institute.
Previously, Jesse was a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and led a research group at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. During his postdoctoral fellowship at the Broad Institute, Jesse developed large-scale CRISPR tools to map enhancer-gene regulation with Eric Lander and Nir Hacohen, and launched the Variants-to-Function (V2F) Initiative to connect genetic disease variants to their molecular and cellular functions.
