Tanner Koomar, PhD

Postdoctoral Research Scholar

The University of Iowa

I study the genetic intersection of language development and the cognitive functions underlying neuropsychiatric conditions. I apply computational and statistical tools like machine learning and cloud infrastructure to data derived from NGS and other high-throughput omics modalities. I am also passionate about communicating science and the duty of scientists to thoughtfully share their research with society at large.
