Summary
Roby Joehanes is a Senior Scientist based in Greater Boston with nine years of focused post-Ph.D. experience leading transcriptomics, epigenetics, and whole-genome sequencing analyses across cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, cancer, and immunology domains. He has led large international consortia and multi-year projects, authored over 70 papers (h-index 40), and built computational tools and cloud workflows used by the Framingham Heart Study and other consortia. Technically fluent in statistics, biostatistics, machine learning, and high-performance computing, he combines deep methodological expertise with practical implementation—from QC and association testing to eQTL follow-up and Mendelian randomization. An award-winning mentor and project manager, he has supervised and trained numerous postdocs and programmers while consulting for academic and industry groups.
