LA JOLLA\u2014Salk Assistant Professor Graham McVicker<\/a> has been awarded a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Genomic Innovator Award, which supports early-career scientists who conduct innovative, creative research in genomics. The award, which provides $2.85 million over five years, is in recognition of McVicker\u2019s efforts using computational and experimental approaches to investigate how human genetic diversity leads to metabolic, cardiovascular, autoimmune and other diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraham is pushing the boundaries of computational genetics as he unravels the molecular drivers of disease states,\u201d says Salk President and Professor\u00a0Rusty Gage<\/a>. \u201cWe are thrilled to see Graham get recognized for his talent and contributions to the field of genomics.\u201d<\/p>\n

McVicker, who holds the Frederick B. Rentschler Developmental Chair, studies how differences in human DNA (genetic variants) affect gene regulation in order to understand the genetic underpinnings of complex human diseases. He seeks to identify the disease-associated regulatory variants that act in a variety of cell types, including immune cells, neuronal cells and cancer cells. Currently, he is utilizing a combination of technologies for altering genes and computational analyses to discover regulatory sequences, interpret genetic variants that do not code for proteins and connect them to the genes they regulate. In much of his research, he develops sophisticated computational and statistical methods to extract subtle signals from experimental data.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":31882,"template":"","faculty":[99],"disease-research":[332,333],"class_list":["post-31872","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faculty-graham-mcvicker","disease-research-computational-biology","disease-research-genetics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSalk Assistant Professor Graham McVicker receives Genomic Innovator Award - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/es\/news-release\/salk-assistant-professor-graham-mcvicker-receives-genomic-innovator-award\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk Assistant Professor Graham McVicker receives Genomic Innovator Award - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Graham McVickerClick here for a high-resolution image.Credit: Salk Institute LA JOLLA\u2014Salk Assistant Professor Graham McVicker has been awarded a National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Genomic Innovator Award, which supports early-career scientists who conduct innovative, creative research in genomics.
