About Jeffrey Assistant professor at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark, N.J. Research focuses on human genome variation. I am a member of the 1000 Genomes Project and a co-chairman of the group aimed at identifying complex sequence variations in human genomes. I am also a research associate at the American Museum of Natural History in New York where I lead the effort to sequence and annotate the genome of New York-centric and exotic creatures. This project is currently working on the genomes of bedbugs, cockroaches, and Antarctic hot-vent sea anemones.

Ph.D. from New York University while performing dissertation research at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, undergraduate work in biology and computer science from the University of Pennsylvania in 2001.

“My goal for Genome Liberty is to allow individuals to have control over their genetic information and to use it to improve their health decisions. It is extremely problematic that people are being given medications that can harm them without doctors preemptively performing simple and accurate tests to check for these side effects. I hope that individuals will be empowered to become part of their medical decision making process.”
