Or Gozani
Dr. Morris Herzstein Professor
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the molecular mechanisms by which chromatin-signaling networks effect nuclear and epigenetic programs, and how dysregulation of these pathways leads to disease. Our work centers on the biology of lysine methylation, a principal chromatin-regulatory mechanism that directs epigenetic processes. We study how lysine methylation events are generated, sensed, and transduced, and how these chemical marks integrate with other nuclear signaling systems to govern diverse cellular functions.

Philip C. Hanawalt
Dr. Morris Herzstein Professor in Biology, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy current interest includes two principal areas:
1. The molecular basis for diseases in which the pathway of transcription-coupled DNA repair is defective, including Cockyne syndrome (CS) and UV-sensitive syndrome (UVSS). Patients are severely sensitive to sunlight but get no cancers. See Hanawalt & Spivak, 2008, for review.
2. Transcription arrest by guanine-rich DNA sequences and non-canonical secondary structures. Transcription collisions with replication forks. -

Luis Hernandez-Nunez
Assistant Professor of Biology
BioLuis Hernandez-Nunez is a tenure-track professor of biology, a Warren Alpert Distinguished Scholar, a Branco Weiss faculty fellow, and a Burroughs Wellcome Career Award faculty fellow at Stanford University, where he leads the Hernandez-Nunez Lab. Luis’ research focuses on the circuit mechanisms underlying heart-brain interactions and on organismal circuits that implement multiorgan coordination and feedback control. Luis did his postdoctoral training with Florian Engert supported by an LSRF fellowship. Luis obtained his Ph.D. in Systems, Synthetic, and Quantitative Biology from Harvard in 2020. He conducted his doctoral research in Aravinthan Samuel’s lab, where he identified molecules, cells, and circuits that mediate thermal homeostasis in larval Drosophila. Before graduate school, Luis was an undergraduate and then a postbac researcher at Thierry Emonet’s lab at Yale University. Before moving to the U.S., Luis studied mechatronics engineering at the National University of Engineering in Peru.
