Nathaniel Fisher

I recently graduated with an M.S. in Bioinformatics from Boston University. In iCaMP, I am investigating mitochondrial genetic diversity across tissues in the human body and developing new approaches for variant calling and Nuclear-embedded mitochondrial DNA sequence (NUMT) filtering using mitochondrial WGS and RNA-seq data. Previously I worked in DNA process development at Moderna and genetic toolkit development in non-model bacteria at Joyn Bio. I also completed my B.A. in Biological Sciences from Cornell University where I did research in Environmental Microbiology and Ecosystem Ecology. In addition to mitochondrial genetics and cardiovascular disease, I have broad interests including environmental biotechnology, cancer biology, and deep learning applications in genomics. Outside of work I love sailing, swimming, and playing penny (Irish) whistle.
