Ryan Corbett, PhD

Bioinformatics Scientist II

Ryan joined CHOP as a Bioinformatics Scientist with the Center for Data Driven Discovery in October 2022, and transitioned to the Diskin laboratory in February 2024. His research focuses on characterizing pathogenic germline variation in pediatric CNS tumor patients, and integrating germline with somatic sequencing data to identifying novel mechanisms underlying oncogenesis. He is also an active participant in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts in CHOP, and currently leads a project to identify genetic ancestry-associated inequities in pediatric CNS tumor prevalence, survival, and treatment. In his free time, Ryan enjoys pottery, caring for his hundreds of house plants, traveling the world with his partner, and short walks with his senior dog, Kennedy.
