Please join us for our first Speakers Series Presentation and luncheon with the distinguished Dr. Eric Gamazon. A tenured faculty member of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, he directs the Functional Genomics & Precision Medicine lab at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He is a Life Member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge and has held an honorary scientist post in the university's MRC Epidemiology Unit, MRC Biostatistics Unit, and Department of Medicine. He was a recipient of the inaugural Genomic Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Gamazon has served as a co-chair of the GTEx Consortium GWAS Working Group and as a member of several NIH study sections.

Learn more about his ongoing project to understand the effect of genetic variation on gene regulation across tissues and cell types, to gain insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets. He utilizes large-scale DNA biobank data linked to electronic health records, along with data science and computation, to identify genes involved in human health and disease in diverse populations, to discover novel biomarkers, and to enable a comprehensive systems view of the disease phenome.
