Top SchoolOmar Cornejo is an associate professor and population genomics researcher with over a decade of experience applying genomic, bioinformatics, and big-data methods to humans, plants, microbes, and pathogens. He leads a lab that develops affordable, high-precision HLA haplotype genotyping and has produced phased HLA gene sequences, recently presenting results at PacBio PRISM 2025. Trained in population biology, ecology, and evolution, he combines deep evolutionary insight with practical sequence-analysis pipelines to study demography, selection, and host鈥搈icrobe interactions across diverse systems. He consults with industry partners and co-founded AnemoiBio to translate genomic advances into accessible healthcare applications. Based in California, he bridges academic research and applied genomics, emphasizing cost-effective methods to improve transplant matching and immune-disease characterization.
