University of Minnesota Flags

The Hsieh Lab is part of the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development and the Institute for Health Informatics at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities). UMN fosters cutting-edge research in genetics, cell and developmental biology, and computational sciences, offering rich opportunities for collaboration. We provide an exceptional environment for computational and statistical genomics research and training, with strong connections to genomics groups across UMN and nearby institutions, including the Mayo Clinic.

Join the lab!

We welcome motivated trainees interested in computational and statistical approaches to study human genome function and evolution.
