John M. Greally

John M. Greally is a Professor in the Department of Genetics and Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, serving as Chief of the Division of Genomics and Director of the Center for Epigenomics. He holds the Gottesman Faculty Scholar for Epigenomics title and advises key facilities like the Computational Genomics Core. His research focuses on medical genomics and epigenetics, particularly in understanding genetic and environmental influences on stem cell differentiation and rare diseases. He leads initiatives to advance genomic diagnostics through long-read sequencing and founded Latent Genomics, a startup applying medical genomics in clinical care.

• Education: MB, BCh, BAO (National University of Ireland, 1988); PhD (2016), DMed (2016)

His research integrates genomic technologies, advanced data analysis, and stem cell systems to study non-coding genome variants and cellular memory mechanisms. Clinical efforts emphasize equitable genomic services for diverse populations through the New York Center for Rare Diseases.

Key honors include the Mentor of the Year in Basic Science (2014) and Fellowship in the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. He contributes editorially to Epigenetics and Chromatin and PLOS Genetics, and holds a patent for cytosine methylation detection methods.

Professional affiliations include the American Society of Human Genetics and leadership roles such as President of the New York Celtic Medical Society (2021-2023). His work spans basic research, clinical diagnostics, and translational medicine, with over 60 peer-reviewed publications and international presentations.
