Anshul Kundaje

Anshul Kundaje is Associate Professor of Genetics and Computer Science at Stanford University. The Kundaje lab develops machine learning models of gene regulation to decipher the genetic and molecular basis of disease. The lab has pioneered deep learning models and interpretation frameworks to decode the functional language encoded in DNA, RNA and proteins. Dr. Kundaje has led computational efforts of large genomics consortia including the ENCODE Project and the Roadmap Epigenomics Project. Dr. Kundaje is a recipient of the NIH Director's New Innovator Award, the Alfred Sloan Fellowship and the HUGO Chen Award of Excellence.
