Sager Gosai, Ph.D.

Sager Gosai is a Ph.D. candidate in the Biological and Biomedical Science program at Harvard University. He received a B.A. in Chemistry in 2008 from Washington & Jefferson College. Before graduate school, he worked in the laboratories of Gary Silverman at the University of Pittsburgh and Brian Gregory at the University of Pennsylvania. In the Sabeti Lab, Sager is currently developing computational methods to detect adaptive variation in human populations and predict the impact of sequence variation on genome architecture.
