Top SchoolJose Hernandez is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School focused on the genetic control of gene expression and how it drives pathological cell states in autoimmune disease. With 11 years of experience spanning statistical genetics, single-cell genomics, and bioinformatics, he completed a PhD jointly at the University of Queensland and the Garvan Institute where he developed novel computational methods for single-cell analysis. He has led the single-cell eQTLgen consortium since 2019, the largest global effort to map genetic effects on expression across human tissues, bridging large-scale genetics and cellular resolution. His background includes software development and ancestry inference tools from his time at UNAM and startup-affiliated SERENDA, reflecting a strong blend of method development and applied genomics. Based in Sydney, he combines rigorous statistical training with hands-on pipeline engineering to translate complex genomic data into disease-relevant insights. Notably, his work routinely integrates population genetics perspectives into single-cell frameworks, a less obvious but powerful angle for uncovering disease mechanisms.
