Summary
Peter Robinson is a Full Professor of Computational Biology and PI of the Human Phenotype Ontology project, combining deep clinical insight from a prior career as a certified pediatrician and 15 years in Medical Genetics with expertise in algorithm development for genomics. He leads cross-disciplinary teams at The Jackson Laboratory and the Berlin Institute of Health, advancing methods for exome/genome sequencing, RNA-seq, immunosequencing, Capture Hi-C, and ChIP-seq. His group has discovered multiple Mendelian disease genes and probed genotype–phenotype correlations and pathobiology in Marfan syndrome, translating computational findings into biological and clinical impact. Trained in mathematics (Columbia) and medicine (Penn), he is notable for bridging rigorous quantitative modeling with hands-on genomic technology development and ontology-driven phenotype annotation.
