John Quackenbush is Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and Chair of the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Professor in the Channing Division of Network Medicine, and Professor at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. John's PhD was in Theoretical Physics, but in 1992 he received a fellowship to work on the Human Genome Project. This led him through the Salk Institute, Stanford, The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), and to Harvard in 2005. John uses massive data to probe how many small effects combine to influence human health and disease. He has more than 300 scientific papers and over 73,000 citations. Among his honors is recognition in 2013 as a White House Open Science Champion of Change.

As algorithms analyze mammograms and smartphones capture lived experiences, researchers are debating the use of ai in public health.
A new hybrid program is helping first-year international students, who were facing challenges with taking remote classes from thousands of miles away. The program brought a group of students to Boston, where they take both online and once-a-week…
For immediate release: October 14, 2020 Boston, MA – Scientists working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cancer care need to be more transparent about their methods and publish research that is reproducible, according to a…
New research from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital has uncovered sex-based differences in networks that regulate gene expression in a large number of human tissues. The finding is important because it…
January 29, 2020 – John Quackenbush, Henry Pickering Walcott Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and chair of the Department of Biostatistics, is trying to understand how our genes influence cancer risk. In a recent research paper, he…
