Acting Professor of Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology, Faculty Director of Diversity, UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute

Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology Department, Genomics Institute

Areas of expertise: Biomedical Sciences, DNA, RNA, Proteins, Evolution, Genomics, Genetics, Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, Stem Cells


Biography, Education and Training

  My research involves using pluripotent stem cells from a variety of primate species and high throughput sequencing methods to study how genome evolution affects human development and disease. My lab is located in the Institute for the Biology of Stem Cells. With funding from NIH-NHGRI, we are exploring the mechanisms by which transposable elements lead to new gene regulatory programs important for the evolution of new traits. With funding from NIH-NIMH we are studying the role ... more »
