**About the Gürsoy Lab**

Dr. Gamze Gürsoy’s research group develops computational and experimental tools to address many different questions in genomics such as 1) can we develop multimodal statistical inference tools integrating genetics and her data to better investigate disease mechanism? 2) what are the forces and factors that determine the spatial organization of the genome and how does this organization of the genome influence phenotype? 3) can biological systems be used to securely and efficiently store, maintain, and access the information? and 4) can we develop multimodal inference tools to better investigate disease mechanism? The lab is physically located at the New York Genome Center, but the PI and trainees are also part of Department of Biomedical Informatics and Department of Computer Science as well as Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University.

**About the New York Genome Center**

The New York Genome Center (NYGC) is an independent, nonprofit, academic research organization dedicated to advancing genomic research. NYGC scientists and staff are furthering new approaches to diagnosing and treating neurological diseases and cancer through their unique capabilities in whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, state-of-the art analytics, and the development of genomic tools. NYGC concentrates specifically on disease-based research in the following areas: neuropsychiatric disease (autism, schizophrenia, bipolar); neurodegenerative disease (ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s), and cancer.

Located in Lower Manhattan, the New York Genome Center was founded by and remains closely affiliated with the leading academic medical centers and research universities in the New York region, engaging in research projects with and for these institutions.

We believe that when people of various backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives work together in an inclusive and equitable environment we gain new and valuable perspectives that otherwise would have been missed. Valuing and supporting all NYGC employees as individuals while helping them realize their full potential is critical to promoting greater collaboration, innovation, and discovery - fostering a sense of belonging for our greatest strength, our people. We recognize that there is still work to be done that will require sustained commitment from the entire organization.
