Jeffrey Harder, Ph.D.

Associate Computational Scientist

Biomedical scientist interested in uncovering the interactions between genes and environment that dictate the occurrence and form of disease.

I have a background in research and model development in glaucoma, diabetes, and COVID-19. My current interests include using single cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies to investigate disease mechanisms and improving translation of animal research using genetically diverse models and cross-species analyses.
