His innovative biotechnologies and computational tools to study the sequence and function of genomes are advancing the understanding of the structure, evolution, and function of genomes for medicine – particularly autism spectrum disorders, cancer, and other human diseases – and agriculture.

Schatz, who founded and directs the Schatz Lab, has created many of the most widely used methods and software to assemble the full genetic material for a single person or a species.

Schatz holds appointments in the Department of Computer Science at the Whiting School of Engineering and in the Department of Biology at JHU Krieger School of Arts and Sciences.

Recent awards include the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship, Computational and Evolutionary Molecular Biology, in 2015, and the NSF CAREER Award in 2014. Schatz’s earlier honors are Young Investigator of the Year, Genome Technology (2010), and the twice-awarded Winship Herr Award for Excellence in Teaching, Watson School for Biological Science. His leadership of the computational biology field includes founding in 2012 a new, interdisciplinary CSHL conference on Biological Data Science, as well as a regular member of the program committees to Genome Informatics, RECOMB, ISMB, WABI, and several other top conferences.
