Euan A. Ashley

Associate Dean, School of Medicine, Roger and Joelle Burnell Professor of Genomics and Precision Health, Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine), of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology
Clinical Focus
Cardiology, Inherited cardiovascular disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, Sports Cardiology, Heart Failure, Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia, Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, Genomic medicine, Undiagnosed disease
Research Interests
The Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.

Jennifer Caswell-Jin

Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
Clinical Focus
Medical Oncology
Research Interests
My research is on the translational application of next-generation sequencing technologies to breast cancer care: (1) the value of hereditary cancer genetic panel testing in clinical practice, (2) the mechanisms by which inherited genetic variants lead to breast cancer development, and (3) the analysis of somatic tumor sequencing data to inform understanding of breast tumorigenesis, metastasis, and development of resistance in response to therapeutics.
