Meet John Quackenbush– Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Harvard TH Chan School – and one of our international keynote speakers at Digitalize in Sthlm 2021. 

John Quackenbush is a Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and Chair of the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health 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 University, and The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), before moving to Harvard in 2005.
