Biography
Dr. Griswold is an Assistant Professor in the Dr. John T. MacDonald Department of Human Genetics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and in the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (HIHG). He received a BS degree in Biology from the University of Notre Dame and his PhD in Genetics from The George Washington University where he did his dissertation research at the National Institutes of Health. He did his postdoctoral work at the HIHG with Dr. Margaret Pericak-Vance and currently as the Associate Director of the Center for Genome Technology and leader of the Statistical and Bioinformatics Consulting Core in the Center for Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics.

Teaching Interests
Dr. Griswold is the course director of two courses: GNM660 – Computational Methods in Genomic Medicine and HGG660 – Bioinformatics Theory and Practice. Due to the rapid pace of technological innovations in the genomics field, it is becoming clear that medicine and research in the future will need to employ these high-throughput methodologies. Thus, given my background my educational philosophy rests on what I feel is a responsibility to pass on these computational methods and understanding to future generations of researchers and clinicians.
Research Interests
Dr. Griswold has training in both molecular genetics and a focus in computational bioinformatics specifically applied to running and developing analysis pipelines for massively parallel DNA sequencing analysis, RNA sequencing analysis, epigenomics, and comprehensive variant annotation and interpretation. His primary research interests are aiming to identify genetic risk for factors of complex phenotypes. He is involved in several projects focusing on the underlying genetics of complex diseases including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Alzheimer’s disease in projects ranging from copy number variation analysis and identification of rare sequencing variants. His current work focuses on using sequencing technologies and bioinformatics approaches to identify functional genomic signatures of disease phenotypes.
