POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE · UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
Dr. Rohani studies how the developing brain's genome, epigenome, and gene expression give rise to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions — combining computational biology and machine learning to trace when and where these disorders begin, and to find the DNA regulatory elements worth targeting therapeutically.

RESEARCH
In the Sanders and Rinaldi labs at Oxford, Dr. Rohani analyses gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and DNA sequencing from developing brain tissue to pinpoint when and how autism, schizophrenia, and related conditions emerge — and which enhancers could become therapeutic targets.
