Chirag Patel, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School and an Assistant in Bioinformatics at the Department of Medicine, Center for Assessment Technology and Continuous Health (CATCH) at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Patel's long-term research goal is to address problems in human health and disease by developing computational and bioinformatics methods to reason over high-throughput information spanning molecules to populations. His group focuses on computational strategies to efficiently and reproducibly uncover the complex interaction between the exposome, genome and phenome towards development of new tools for disease diagnosis and therapy.
