John R. Pringle
Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMuch of our research exploits the power of yeast as an experimentally tractable model eukaryote to investigate fundamental problems in cell and developmental biology such as the mechanisms of cell polarization and cytokinesis. In another project, we are developing the small sea anemone Aiptasia as a model system for study of the molecular and cellular biology of dinoflagellate-cnidarian symbiosis, which is critical for the survival of most corals but still very poorly understood.

Jonathan Pritchard
Bing Professor of Population Studies, Professor of Genetics and Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe are interested in a broad range of problems at the interface of genomics and evolutionary biology. One current focus of the lab is in understanding how genetic variation impacts gene regulation and complex traits. We also have long-term interests in using genetic data to learn about population structure, history and adaptation, especially in humans.

Monika Priyadarshini
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioI obtained my PhD from the Biological and Environmental Science Division at King Abdullah University for Science and Technology (KAUST, Saudi Arabia) in 2021. I had the opportunity to work with Christian Frøkjær-Jensen on a fascinating research project focusing on the epigenetic regulation of germline genes and the transgenerational inheritance of silencing in C. elegans.
My passion lies in the field of epigenetics, synthetic and molecular biology, and protein biochemistry. I am deeply intrigued by the intricacies of genome organization and am dedicated to unraveling the "rules" that govern it. Additionally, I'm committed to dissecting the molecular and structural changes that take place within chromatin. -
Xiaojie Qiu
Assistant Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAt the Qiu Lab, our mission is to unravel and predict the intricacies of gene regulatory networks and cell-cell interactions pivotal in mammalian cell fate transitions over time and space, with a special emphasis on heart evolution, development, and disease. We are a dynamic and interdisciplinary team, harnessing the latest advancements in machine learning as well as single-cell and spatial genomics by integrating the predictive power of systems biology with the scalability of machine learning,

Morteza Roodgar DVM, PhD
Veterinarian Research Scientist, Genetics
BioDr. Morteza Roodgar is a veterinarian scientist with a research focus on Primate induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and long-read genomics tools.
Dr. Roodgar's research focus is on primate stem cell biology, immunology, and comparative genomics of nonhuman primate models for human diseases. The long-term goal of Dr. Roodgar's research is to Replace, Reduce and Refine (aka 3 R’s) the use of animals in biomedical research leveraging primate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and long-read genomic tools to speed up preclinical testing.
Previous research includes immunology and genomic susceptibility to infectious diseases (e.g., tuberculosis, TB) in nonhuman primate models, Preventive Veterinary Medicine and emerging zoonotic diseases (e.g., COVID-19 and Monkeypox). -
Jarod Evert Rutledge
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioJarod Rutledge is currently a joint postdoctoral fellow at EMBL Heidelberg and Stanford University. His research is focused on the application of deep learning tools to cellular imaging and omics data to enable new experimental paradigms in functional genomics and translational medicine. Jarod received his Ph.D. from Stanford University School of Medicine, where he worked with Professor Tony Wyss-Coray and Professor Stephen Montgomery. He researched ways to combine proteomics, genetics, and machine learning to discover new quantitative biomarkers of aging, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease to enable precision preventative medicine. Jarod has also made previous contributions to the fields of medicinal chemistry and synthetic biology, where he worked to develop new therapies for neglected tropical diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Julien Sage
Elaine and John Chambers Professor of Pediatric Cancer and Professor of Genetics
On Partial Leave from 04/22/2024 To 06/24/2024Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe investigate the mechanisms by which normal cells become tumor cells, and we combine genetics, genomics, and proteomics approaches to investigate the differences between the proliferative response in response to injury and the hyperproliferative phenotype of cancer cells and to identify novel therapeutic targets in cancer cells.

Serena Sanulli
Assistant Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the organizing principles of the genome and how these principles regulate cell identity and developmental switches. We combine Biochemistry and Biophysical methods such as NMR and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange-MS with Cell Biology, and Genetics to explore genome organization across length and time scales and understand how cells leverage the diverse biophysical properties of chromatin to regulate genome function.

Mahasish Shome
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow in Department of Genetics working in Dr. Michael Snyder’s lab. My research interest revolves around studying humoral immunity to understand disease pathology. I am currently working on Postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) patients who experienced various symptoms after COVID infection and vaccination. We looked into the antibody profile of this cohort and also the B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire for possible clonal expansion. We are specifically trying to understand if there is an autoimmune component leading to these symptoms observed in PASC cohort. We also plan to decipher the reason behind some individuals having symptoms after vaccination while others do not.
I am also interested in inflammatory bowel disease pathology and how gut microbiome plays a role in disease progression. I am focusing on Adherent Invasive Escherichia Coli as a pathobiont microbe target. -
Arend Sidow
Professor of Pathology and of Genetics
On Leave from 04/01/2024 To 02/21/2025Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe have a highly collaborative research program in the evolutionary genomics of cancer. We apply well-established principles of phylogenetics to cancer evolution on the basis of whole genome sequencing and functional genomics data of multiple tumor samples from the same patient. Introductions to our work and the concepts we apply are best found in the Newburger et al paper in Genome Research and the Sidow and Spies review in TIGS.
