معرفی
Aleksandar Milosavljevic is a Professor and holds the Henry and Emma Meyer Chair in Molecular Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine. He serves as Director of the Program in Quantitative & Computational Biosciences (QCB) and Co-Director of the Computational and Integrative Biomedical Research Center (CIBR). He is also a member of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center. His research focuses on genomics, epigenomics, and bioinformatics, with a particular emphasis on cancer genomics, extracellular RNA communication, and clinical genome interpretation.
Education: PhD from University of California, Santa Cruz (1990).
Research interests include developing computational methods for analyzing genomic and epigenomic data, constructing biological atlases (e.g., Human Epigenome Atlas, exRNA Atlas), and advancing clinical genomic applications through projects like ClinGen. His work bridges basic science and translational medicine, with contributions to understanding tumor biology, genetic variant interpretation, and liquid biopsy technologies.
Key projects include the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Initiative, NIH Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium, and ClinGen, which developed tools like the Pathogenicity Calculator and Allele Registry. His lab collaborates widely, addressing challenges in structural genomics, stochastic epigenetic regulation, and precision medicine.
