Rob` Brown

Rob Brown, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral researcher working with Sriram Sankararaman and Eleazar Eskin at UCLA. He completed his B.A. in Astrophysics at Columbia University, and his Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at UCLA while advised by Bogdan Pasaniuc. As a graduate student, he developed new methods for finding non-linear genetic associations with phenotypes. His current postdoctoral work has two main focuses: (1) to develop surgery outcome predictors using electronic health records and genotype data from individuals in the UC system. (2) Understanding how interactions between deleterious coding and regulatory variation shape the genetic architectures and association signals for complex phenotypes.
