John&#8217;s research uses massive data from DNA sequencing and other assays to model functional networks in human cells. By comparing networks between groups of individuals, he has found new drug targets, explored chemotherapy resistance, and investigated differences between the sexes. He has made pioneering discoveries about how the genetic variants work together to determine our traits.<\/p>\n<p>John has published more than 280 papers; his work has been cited more than 65,000 times. He has received numerous awards for his work, including recognition in 2013 as a White House Open Science Champion of Change. He is also the co-founder of Genospace, a precision medicine software company that was purchased by the Hospital Corporation of America in 2017.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2.jpg\" alt=\"John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1224\" width=\"820\" title=\"John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2-686x1024.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2-768x1146.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2-630x940.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2-420x627.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.biotechpharmasummit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/John_Quackenbush_Harvard_BioTech_Pharma_Summit_2-315x470.jpg 315w\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<h3>\n\tTitle: Mapping cancer risk SNPs to eQTL networks\n\t<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Biomarkers tend to emphasize individual genes, but genes do not act alone<\/li>\n<li>Instead, genes and genetic variants act as elements of complex interacting networks<\/li>\n<li>These networks and their properties can be used to inform our understanding of disease and to develop pre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sociopharma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPresentation available only at SocioPharma.com\n\t<\/a>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" title=\"On the Web\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\tOn the Web\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" title=\"On LinkedIn\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\tOn LinkedIn\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h4>\n\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/john-quackenbush\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit Profile<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. John Quackenbush Chair of the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health John Quackenbush is Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and Chair of the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Professor of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
