Stanford Medicine Basic Science Professor
On Leave from 05/01/2026 To 12/31/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe investigate the mechanisms of human neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, and ALS. We don't limit ourselves to one model system or experimental approach. We start with yeast, perform genetic and chemical screens, and then move to other model systems (e.g. mammalian tissue culture, mouse, fly) and even work with human patient samples (tissue sections, patient-derived cells, including iPS cells) and next generation sequencing approaches.

Henry T. (Hank) Greely
Deane F. and Kate Edelman Johnson Professor of Law and, Professor, by courtesy, of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSince 1992 my work has concentrated on ethical, legal, and social issues in the biosciences. I am particularly active on issues arising from neuroscience, human genetics, and stem cell research, with cross-cutting interests in human research protections, human biological enhancement, and the future of human reproduction.

William Greenleaf
Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab focuses on developing methods to probe both the structure and function of molecules encoded by the genome, as well as the physical compaction and folding of the genome itself. Our efforts are split between building new tools to leverage the power of high-throughput sequencing technologies and cutting-edge optical microscopies, and bringing these technologies to bear against basic biological questions by linking DNA sequence, structure, and function.

Anthony Harris
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioAnthony Harris is a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Genetics at Stanford School of Medicine, where he investigates the organization and function of the genome during cellular development. His research focuses on uncovering fundamental principles of chromosome structure, cellular differentiation, and genome stability. By combining experimental molecular biology, computational modeling, and third generation sequencing technologies, Dr. Harris aims to elucidate the mechanisms that shape chromatin architecture and direct genome maintenance. His interdisciplinary approach integrates cutting-edge quantitative analysis with traditional molecular techniques to advance understanding of the relationship between cellular organization and disease.
Dr. Harris has developed computational tools for genomic data analysis and applies data-driven strategies to study chromatin structure and gene regulation. His work has been published in leading journals, including EMBO Journal, Genetics, and Developmental Cell, with projects spanning meiosis regulation, transcriptional control, and genome integrity. These experiences reflect his commitment to understanding how chromatin organization and gene expression guide cell fate and function.
Dr. Harris earned his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Minnesota and his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. He brings expertise in data analysis, computational biology, scientific writing, and collaborative research. His broad training spans biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, genetics, and computational genomics. -
