Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristian Groza is a Banting Fellow and computational genomics researcher with 11 years of experience applying genome graphs, sequence assembly, and string-matching algorithms to epigenomics. He completed a PhD at McGill University studying epigenomic events hidden in variable regions of the human genome and leverages large WGS, ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq cohorts to detect signals on non-reference alleles. His work spans comparative primate pangenomes from a JSPS internship at Kyoto University and growing expertise in transposable elements. Based in Montreal, he blends computer science and biology training to build practical tools that reveal variation missed by single-reference approaches. An Emacs-using scientist with a fondness for Lisp, he brings a research-first engineering mindset to open problems in human genetic diversity.
