About Us

Who we are

The Macosko Lab is headed by Evan Macosko, M.D., Ph.D.

Evan is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital and of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. The lab is located within the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT.

He received his doctorate from The Rockefeller University, where he worked with Cori Bargmann (C. elegans neuroscience). His postdoctoral work was in Steve McCarroll’s lab at HMS and the Broad Institute. Evan is also a board-certified psychiatrist, and practices in the MGH outpatient clinic one afternoon a week.
