NHGRI DIR Seminar Series - Ran Blekhman

Seminar Title: Genomics of Host-Microbiome Interactions
November 14, 2024 - Ran Blekhman, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago, specializes in the intersection of human genomics and microbiome research. His research involves leveraging genomic and analytical techniques to unravel host-microbiome interactions in health and disease. The Blekhman Lab studies human genomic factors that control and interact with the microbiome. They utilize high-throughput genomics technologies and employ computational, statistical, machine learning, and population genetic analytical approaches, with the goal of understanding how to interact with the microbial communities, how host-microbe interactions affect human disease, and how the symbiosis between us and our microbiome evolved.
