Noah A. Zaitlen Bioinformatics Doctoral Student Department of Bioinformatics University of California San Diego nzaitlen@ucsd.edu Curriculum Vitae

I am a Ph.D. student in Eleazer Eskin's lab at the Univeristy of California San Diego . I recieved Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Cognitive Science from the University of California at Berkeley. I worked at the Centre National de Genotypage after graduating from Berkeley. They are a large scale genotyping facility just outside of Paris, France. My primary research interest is the development of methods to discover the genetic basis of complex phenotypes by using variation data, especially genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms. I am also interested in population genetics, computational immunology, and machine learning.
