John R. Pringle
Professor of Genetics, Emeritus
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
On Leave from 01/01/2026 To 06/15/2026Current 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.

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). -
Julien Sage
Elaine and John Chambers Professor of Pediatric Cancer and Professor of Genetics
Current 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
BioDr. Mahasish Shome is interested in understanding the underlying mechanism of disease progression. He uses various omics profiling to identify biomarkers relevant to the disease. He studies antibodies, cytokines, proteins and microbiome profile to decipher the connection of disease with markers. Connecting various omics provide a holistic overview of the disease profile and can help in early diagnosis, understanding disease state and drug/vaccine effectiveness.

Arend Sidow
Professor of Pathology and of Genetics
Current 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.

Michael Snyder, Ph.D.
Stanford W. Ascherman Professor of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur laboratory use different omics approaches to study a) regulatory networks, b) intra- and inter-species variation which differs primarily at the level of regulatory information c) human health and disease. For the later we have established integrated Personal Omics Profiling (iPOP), an analysis that combines longitudinal analyses of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, DNA methylation, microbiome and autoantibody profiles to monitor healthy and disease states
