Tim Stuart is a Principal Scientist at the Genome Institute of Singapore, A*STAR, where he leads the Laboratory of Genome Function. His research focuses on using single-cell genomics and computational biology methods to improve our understanding of the function of noncoding DNA elements, and their impact in human health and disease. Prior to joining A*STAR Dr. Stuart completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in biochemistry at the University of Western Australia with Prof. Ryan Lister, where he studied the impact of transposable elements on epigenetic landscapes. Dr. Stuart later completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the New York Genome Center with Dr. Rahul Satija, where he developed new methods for single-cell data integration and epigenomic analysis.
