Biography

Matthew T. Maurano is an Assistant Professor in the Institute of Systems Genetics and the Department of Pathology at New York University. His research interests lie in computational biology, systems biology, genome engineering, and synthetic regulatory genomics. His lab focuses on the mechanistic study of regulatory variation, aiming to understand how the noncoding genome affects cell-type specific transcriptional regulation. By applying both experimental and computational approaches, his group is working on establishing the foundations for innovative genomic engineering and genome analysis technologies. Maurano’s work is vital in elucidating the consequences of genetic variations associated with diseases and advancing our understanding of gene expression regulation through shared repertoire transcription factors.
