Jesse Gillis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. His research interests include bioinformatics, computational biology, cell biology, chromosome biology, developmental biology, epigenomics, evolution, functional genomics, gene regulation, and neuroscience. He aims to understand the flow of information from the genome to whole-organism biology through the modeling and analysis of functional genomics data. His lab integrates diverse modalities and levels of biological organization to utilize molecular processes of cells in comprehending diversity in organismal phenotypes. With a focus on functional genomics, Jesse investigates genomic features that significantly contribute to variation across molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Current projects involve the study of neuronal cell types, epigenetic individuality, co-expression across kingdoms, X chromosome variability, gene function learning, and chromatin contact meta-analysis.
