Eran Hodis was born in Haifa, Israel and grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts. He pursued his interest in science and math as a University Scholar at Boston University, graduating in 2007 with a dual major Mathematics and in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology. Afterwards, he trained in computational biology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, earning an M.Sc. in 2010. When his mother was diagnosed with cancer, he dedicated himself to cancer research. At Harvard, Eran’s work in cancer genomics has contributed to our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of melanoma, the most lethal form of skin cancer. His current research seeks to better understand the disease by asking how mutations cooperate to make a melanoma. He co-teaches a highly-rated course on RNA-sequencing analysis in the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology: SCRB 152. Eran is a 2016 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow and was listed among the Forbes ’30 Under 30’ in Science in 2015.
