Dr. Rossin is an Assistant Professor in ophthalmology at the Harvard Medical School Department of Ophthalmology within Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE). Dr. Rossin is a retina specialist, and she has a long-standing interest in genetics. As part of her doctoral work, Dr. Rossin defined methods around the integration of protein-protein interaction networks with genome-wide disease association data. Dr. Rossin built a computational pipeline to identify networks of interacting proteins underlying genetic association signals that points to critical pathways in several diseases. After completing her PhD, Dr. Rossin then embarked on clinical training in ophthalmology with a focus in retina. During this time, Dr. Rossin co-led work to analyze protein structure using network analysis; Dr. Rossin applied this work to highly mutable viruses and found that sites predicted to be structurally critical led to destabilization of the virus if mutated. These concepts are directly relatable to human genetics.
