    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Dr. Maass is a Scientist of the Genetics & Genome Biology program of SickKids and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. His research program focuses on regions of the non-coding genome that impact development and disease mechanisms. Using systems biology, Dr. Maass aims to understand how contacts between different chromosomes impact genome organization and the etiology of disease. Philipp’s training at well-known scientific institutes, including the Max-Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin and Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, provided him with the necessary background to break new grounds in understanding molecular genetics.
