Dr Jason Buenrostro

Jason Buenrostro is an Associate Professor at Harvard University in the department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology and co-Director of the Gene Regulation Observatory at the Broad Institute. Dr. Buenrostro is developing new technologies and computational tools to map the activity of gene regulatory elements, define their interactions, and build models that reveal regulatory circuits within cells. Using these mechanistic maps of gene regulation, Dr. Buenrostro looks to understand how cells acquire and reverse epigenetic changes and how these changes lead to disease.
