Jared C. Roach is an American biologist who invented the pairwise end sequencing strategy while a graduate student at the University of Washington.[1][2][3][4]

Education and early career

Roach attended Cornell University, where he received his Bachelor of Science in biology in 1990. He then attended the University of Washington, where he received his PhD in immunology in 1998, and his MD in 1999. He trained in internal medicine at the University of Utah through 2001.[5]

Career

Starting as a graduate student in the 1990s, Roach worked on the Human Genome Project from its early days through its conclusion in 2003.[4][6] He invented pairwise end-sequencing while a graduate student in Leroy Hood's laboratory.[4][7][3]

Roach was a senior fellow at the department of molecular biotechnology at the University of Washington from 1999 to 2000. In 2001, he became a research scientist at the Institute for Systems Biology.[8]

In 2009, Roach was first author on a project which sequenced the whole genomes of a family of four, including two children affected by

From 2007 to 2009, he was scientific director of the High-Throughput Analysis Core (HAC) laboratory at Seattle Children's Hospital. Since 2009, he has been a senior research scientist at the Institute for Systems Biology. Roach's group currently applies systems biology to complex genetic diseases, focusing on Alzheimer's disease.[18]

In 2020, Roach was involved in a project to map out the molecular phylogenetics of Washington state's initial SARS-CoV-2 outbreak.[19][20][21]

Selected publications

Roach has authored more than 70 publications with over 9000 citations.[22][23]
