Peter J. Park is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. He leads the Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program and has played a significant role in various large-scale initiatives, including the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE). His research focuses on the mutational processes of cancer and normal cells, employing computational statistical approaches to study somatic mutations and genome epigenome analysis. His interests include large-scale genomic sequencing data analysis, non-coding mutations, and the development of novel computational algorithms to identify somatic alterations. Additionally, he has been involved in key projects such as the Brain Somatic Mosaicism Network and the 4D Nucleome Network, both aimed at enhancing the understanding of genetic architecture and nuclear organization. Peter welcomes graduate students who possess strong quantitative programming skills and offers joint thesis supervision with experimentalists.
