معرفی
Jacek Majewski is an Associate Professor at the Department of Human Genetics, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, McGill University, and an affiliated researcher at the IR-MUHC. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Statistical Genetics and specializes in genomics and bioinformatics to address problems in Mendelian disease, cancer, and epigenetics.
- Education: PhD in Evolutionary Biology (1999, Wesleyan), MSc in Electrical Engineering (1991, Stanford), BSc in Physics (1990, Stanford)
His research focuses on genomic data analysis of high-throughput sequencing techniques (whole genome/exome sequencing, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq) and their application to pediatric brain tumors, oncohistone mutations, 3D epigenomics, and alternative splicing. Collaborations span McGill University, Sick Kids, Rockefeller University, and Genome Canada initiatives.
Key article trends include epigenetic dysregulation in cancer, chromatin structure, spliceosome mutations, and 3D genome analysis. Scientific awards include the Canada Research Chair in Statistical Genetics. His lab trains PhD and Master’s students in interdisciplinary genomic and bioinformatic methods, with alumni contributing to cancer epigenetics and clinical genomics. The lab also engages in international collaborations for pediatric glioblastoma and head and neck cancer research.
