  Michele Calos

  Professor of Genetics, Emerita

  Current Research and Scholarly Interests My 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.

  MaryAnn Campion

  Clinical Associate Professor, Genetics

  Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research has focused on faculty development in academic medicine and the translation of genomics into public health.

• 

  Howard Y. Chang, MD, PhD

  Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor of Cancer Genomics and of Genetics

  Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our research is focused on how the activities of hundreds or even thousands of genes (gene parties) are coordinated to achieve biological meaning. We have pioneered methods to predict, dissect, and control large-scale gene regulatory programs; these methods have provided insights into human development, cancer, and aging.

  Mike Cherry

  Professor (Research) of Genetics

  Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research involves identifying, validating and integrating scientific facts into encyclopedic databases essential for research and scientific education. Published results of scientific experimentation are a foundation of our understanding of the natural world and provide motivation for new experiments. The combination of in-depth understanding reported in the literature with computational analyses is an essential ingredient of modern biological research.

  Stanley N. Cohen, MD

  Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in the School of Medicine, Professor of Genetics and of Medicine

  Current Research and Scholarly Interests We study mechanisms that affect the expression and decay of normal and abnormal mRNAs, and also RNA-related mechanisms that regulate microbial antibiotic resistance. A small bioinformatics team within our lab has developed knowledge based systems to aid in investigations of genes.

  Christina Curtis

  Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology) and of Genetics

  Current Research and Scholarly Interests The Curtis laboratory is focused on the development and application of innovative experimental, computational, and analytical approaches to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and early detection of cancer.
