Varun Dwaraka, Ph.D.

Dr. Dwaraka received his BS in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from University of California, Santa Cruz, and a PhD in Biology from the University of Kentucky. Dr. Dwaraka has used NGS and array technologies to identify key genes implicated in initiating salamander limb regeneration, and using multi-omic approaches to identify their upstream epigenetic targets. These studies have been presented and published widely. He now leads the development of epigenetic and multi-omic based clocks at TruDiagnostic Inc., a company focusing on methylation array-based diagnostics to empower clinicians and researchers in better understanding the fluid epigenome.
