Rachel Allison Ungar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Ethics
BioRachel Ungar, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Stanford Training Program in ELSI Research (T32) at the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics. Her graduate research was in computational genomics focused on multiomics approaches in Stephen Montgomery’s lab. She was an active member of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network, and GREGoR rare disease consortia focused on transcriptomic methods and data standards. She also examined the impact of rare variants and sex on the X-chromosome. During her PhD, she co-created and taught a course expanding ethics education to bioscientists (GENE 220: Genetics, Ethics, and Society) and evaluated its impact. During her postdoc, Rachel aims to use her background to integrate genomics and ethics, beginning with ethical considerations for rare and undiagnosed disorders. Rachel received her PhD in Genetics at Stanford. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Arkansas with minors in mathematics and computer science.

Alexander Eckehart Urban
Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Major Laboratories and Clinical Translational Neurosciences Incubator) and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsComplex behavioral and neuropsychiatric phenotypes often have a strong genetic component. This genetic component is often extremely complex and difficult to dissect. The current revolution in genome technology means that we can avail ourselves to tools that make it possible for the first time to begin understanding the complex genetic and epigenetic interactions at the basis of the human mind.
