Computational Scientist, Spatial Omics

Stanford University

The Laboratory of Jesse Engreitz (Dept of Genetics, BASE Initiative) is seeking a Research Scientist in CRISPR Genomics (Life Science Research Professional 3) to lead large-scale data production projects to understand the genetic basis of heart diseases. The Engreitz Laboatory is located in the Biomedical Innovations Building on the main campus at Stanford University and is a member of the BASE Initiative in the Betty Irene Moore Children's Heart Center. <br><br> Project overview: DNA regulatory elements in the human genome, which harbor thousands of genetic risk variants for common and rare heart diseases and could reveal targets for therapeutics that aim to precisely tune cellular functions - if only we could map the complex regulatory wiring that connects 2 million regulatory elements with 21,000 genes, and genes with thousands of pathways across the diverse cell types in the human body. We have recently developed new approaches that could enable mapping this regulatory wiring at massive scale (see Fulco et al. Science 2016, Fulco et al. Nat Genet 2019, Nasser et al. Nature 2021, Gschwind et al. bioRxiv 2023), and applied these and other approaches to understand the genetic basis of complex diseases (e.g., Schnitzler et al. Nature 2024). We aim to expand these studies to systematically map the functions of variants, enhancers, and genes in many cell types from the heart and vasculature. These studies will ultimately help to uncover biological mechanisms of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, and other heart diseases to help to guide diagnosis and therapeutic development. For information and recent work, see and .<br><br> We are looking for a creative and passionate Research Scientist (PhD-level) to lead the next phase of our efforts to systematically perturb the genome to understand genome function and phenotype.
