The research interests of the Khurana lab fall under the broad categories of genomics, computational biology and systems biology. Only about 1 percent of our DNA makes proteins, yet it has been the focus of the majority of studies in the past. We participate in multiple international genomics consortia and collaborate with scientists at many institutes to develop novel approaches to understand the role of DNA sequence variants in non-protein-coding parts of the genome.
We are located at the Institute for Computational Biomedicine of Weill Medical College of Cornell University in Manhattan. Our lab is part of the Meyer Cancer Center and Department of Physiology and Biophysics.
