Aditya completed the Genetic Epidemiology M.S. program at the University of Washington and graduated with a B.S. in Genetics and Genomics from the University of California, Davis in 2020.
In his time at UW, he applied and furthered his knowledge in genetics and genomics in both computational approaches and epidemiological contexts. As a member of Dr. Gavin Ha's Lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, he conducted gene expression analysis of circulating tumor DNA from pediatric neuroblastoma in collaboration with Dr. Brian Compton from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Additionally, he conducted his thesis with the guidance of Dr. Kathleen Kerr and Dr. Bruce Weir. He investigated genetic risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility in multiethnic populations.
Aditya will be continuing his education at the University of Pittsburgh as a Human Genetics PhD student. He is conducting research with Dr. HJ Park's lab, which helps develop data-science techniques, AI-driven tools, and statistical inference methods to elucidate large-scale molecular biological dynamics hidden across multiple regulatory layers for complex diseases, such as cancer and sepsis.
