-**[[cassa@mit.edu|Christopher Cassa]]** is an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School, an Associate Geneticist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a Lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His focus is on the clinical interpretation of whole genome sequence data for Mendelian disorders. Areas of focus include incomplete penetrance, detection of epistatic effects, and methods development for pathogenicity prediction using population data.
+**[[akle@fas.harvard.edu|Sebastian Akle]]** is a PhD student in the Harvard Organismal and Evolutionary Biology program. He is interested in population genetics, statistical genetics and gene mapping. He is currently designing a QTL mapping algorithm that uses next generation sequencing and bulk segregant analysis.

-**[[sgchun@partners.org|Sung Chun]]** is a postdoctoral fellow, and he is interested in understanding the genetic architecture of complex disease and natural selection acting on genetic variation underlying heritable disorders. His projects include development of a risk prediction model for myocardial infarction, identification of candidate causal variants underlying rare undiagnosed genetic disorder and evolution of monoallelic expression.

-**[[onuralp@broadinstitute.org|Onuralp Söylemez]]** is a postdoctoral research fellow. He obtained his Ph.D. in biomedical sciences at Pompeu Fabra University, Spain. During his Ph.D., he studied the prevalence and role of allele interactions at the protein level in shaping fitness within natural populations and between species. His current research focuses on applying evolutionary and population genetics tools to gene and pathway discovery via diagnosis of patients with Mendelian disorders of unknown etiology. His primary research interests include the link between Mendelian disorders and multifactorial traits, statistical genetics of rare genetic diseases, and novel regulatory mechanisms of pleiotropy.

-**[[dweghorn@research.bwh.harvard.edu|Donate Weghorn]]** is a postdoctoral fellow who obtained her PhD in theoretical physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. Her research focuses on applying population genetics and statistical methods to data sets from systems undergoing molecular evolution. This involves detecting how cancer tumors come into existence and are maintained, despite selective forces working against these processes. Another focus of Donate's work is elucidating the evolution of the human gut microbiome.

He received his PhD in Computational and Systems Biology at Washington University in St. Louis under the supervision of Justin Fay. He is interested in statistical genetics of complex disease and evolutionary genetics of adaptation and pleiotropy. His current projects include development of statistical test for shared genetic effect between autoimmune disease GWAS and blood eQTL, genetic risk prediction of myocardial infarction, and genetic analysis of cardiovascular co-morbidity.

 **[[davidradke@fas.harvard.edu|David Radke]]** is a PhD student in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) program at Harvard Medical School. He is interested broadly in human evolution and specifically in how genomic structural variants (such as CNVs and indels, among others) helped shape modern human uniqueness. He combines population genetics and comparative genomics to assess the role of structural variants in both modern human and archaic populations.

+**[[alicodendrochit@gmail.com|Vladmir Seplyarskiy]]** graduated from Moscow State University and did his PhD research in Georgii Bazykin's lab at IITP. Vladimir is interested in mutational patterns and underlying biological mechanisms. He is trying to measure DNA repair preferences by comparing mutational profiles between cancers with very specific deficiencies in repair or replication. Current projects also include characterization of sources for heritable mutations and investigation of evolution of mutation rates.
