Anthony Schmitt joined Arima Genomics in 2016 and serves as the Senior Vice President of Science. He has led the development of the core Arima-HiC chemistry and technology platform since Arima’s inception, contributed to core inventions and technology development grants, and continues to lead their R&D programs for targeted chromosome conformation capture techniques such as HiChIP and Capture-HiC. Prior to Arima, Anthony received a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences from UC San Diego in the laboratory of Dr. Bing Ren and a B.S. in biology from University of Massachusetts Amherst. During his doctoral training, Anthony played roles in developing and applying Hi-C technologies, with notable contributions to our understanding of gene regulation in nearly 30 human tissues using Hi-C and Promoter Capture-HiC, developing target haplotyping methods for medically-relevant loci using Capture-HiC and HaploSeq, and developing PLAC-seq (also known as HiChIP) for discovering long-range gene regulatory interactions associated with specific chromatin proteins
