About this position

Large-scale sequencing initiatives have identified thousands of genetic variants associated with human traits and disease. However, understanding how these variants influence biology remains a major challenge because genes do not act independently but within interconnected networks. Existing approaches, including CRISPR screens, have transformed gene discovery but remain poorly suited to measuring dose-dependent and higher-order genetic interactions. This limits our ability to understand how gene networks generate cellular phenotypes and how genetic variation contributes to disease. This proje
