Philipp Maass PhD

Dr. Maass is a Scientist in the Genetics & Genome Biology program of the SickKids Research Institute and an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. His postdoctoral 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 and technical expertise to broaden his understanding of non-coding disease mechanisms.

Dr. Maass’s research program focuses on functional regions of the non-coding genome that impact development and disease mechanisms. Specifically, Dr. Maass aims to understand inter-chromosomal communication and long non-coding RNAs which represent novel fields in chromatin biology and gene & genome regulation.
