Paul Cabellon
Affiliate, Genetics
BioPaul is a career storyteller and brand development expert with an uncanny ability to build bridges between cultures, industries and the technologies that shape them.
His experience spans emerging technological areas in AI, national security, bioterrorism, nanotechnology, aerospace, autonomous transportation and global development. He is currently the Sr. Director of External Communications for space-based intelligence company BlackSky.
Paul previously led all brand, marketing and communications for Bill Gates’ Global Good technology invention fund at private equity firm Intellectual Ventures. He has created and led the execution of award-winning integrated communications campaigns, including two SABRE Awards, for Fortune 100 clients at PR agencies Grayling and Waggener Edstrom. Paul was the communications lead for various stealth fighter and drone sensor programs at Northrop Grumman, including the F-35, F-22 and Global Hawk programs.
He began his public relations career as a U.S. Marine Officer attaining the rank of Captain and led all publicity efforts for numerous crisis incidents including the 2001 Anthrax attack on the U.S. Capitol. He is a graduate of the Defense Information School at Fort Meade, Maryland, the strategic marketing executive program at The Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, and received an M.A. in Communications from Johns Hopkins University. Paul completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Washington, receiving a B.A. in International Studies as well as an additional B.A. in Comparative History of Ideas.
Paul serves as a board member and trustee at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle, Washington, and is an advisor for the NATO DIANA and Defense Innovation Unit startup accelerator programs. Paul is a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution exploring the intersection of agentic AI, national security and behavioral intent. He is an avid tennis player and enjoys spending time in nature with his family in the Pacific Northwest. -
Michele Calos
Professor of Genetics, Emerita
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab is developing innovative gene and stem cell therapies for genetic diseases, with a focus on gene therapy and regenerative medicine.
We have created novel methods for inserting therapeutic genes into the chromosomes at specific places by using homologous recombination and recombinase enzymes.
We are working on 3 forms of muscular dystrophy.
We created induced pluripotent stem cells from patient fibroblasts, added therapeutic genes, differentiated, and engrafted the cells. -

Ajeet Chaudhary
Postdoc, Genetics
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, GeneticsBioI am Research Scientist at Carnegie Institute and currently visiting scholar in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University. My research focuses on understanding how plants perceive and respond to environmental and developmental cues through cell-surface receptor kinase signaling pathways. I combines genetics, proteomics, cell biology, and synthetic biology approaches to uncover mechanisms that regulate plant growth, stress adaptation, and cell wall integrity. I received my Ph.D. from the Technical University of Munich, Germany, where I studied the role of the receptor kinase STRUBBELIG in plant development and cell wall signaling. During my postdoctoral research at the Carnegie Institution for Science and Stanford University, I discovered key mechanisms by which the receptor kinase FERONIA coordinates plant growth with cellular integrity and environmental stress responses. My long-term goal is to translate fundamental discoveries in plant signaling into innovative strategies for engineering climate-resilient crops.
