Nicholas Haradhvala

Nick Haradhvala grew up in Weston, Massachusetts, and graduated from Carleton College in 2014 with a bachelors in Mathematics. He then joined the laboratory of Dr. Gad Getz at the Broad Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital studying cancer genomics, and in 2018 began his PhD in the Harvard Biophysics program mentored by Dr. Getz. A primary focus of his research has been studying the ways in which DNA damage and faulty repair drive distinct patterns of mutation observed in cancer genomes. In addition, he works with single-cell RNA sequencing technologies to study how the tumor microenvironment influences cancer development, progression, and drug resistance.
