Profiles in "Genetics" Expertise Area

  • Dr. Bussey is a cancer cytogeneticist and applied bioinformatician developing tools to help oncologists fully integrate genomics into their current medical data streams to realize the promise of precision medicine.
  • Clark-Curtiss is a microbial geneticist who studies Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. She investigates how these bacteria survive and grow within human cells to cause TB.
  • Birge is a bacterial geneticist whose research interests were the genetics of Escherichia coli and its viruses. He is no longer active in that field but penned the textbook Bacterial and Bacteriophage Genetics.
  • Dr. Mastroeni's current research is examining genetic ( Mom & Dad) and epigenetic (environmental) changes within single classes of cells in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease by laser capture microdissection (LCM).
  • Dr. Cook-Deegan's research interests include science policy, health policy, biomedical research, cancer and intellectual property.
  • Buetow is a human genetics and genomics researcher who leverages computational tools to understand complex traits such as cancer, liver disease, and obesity.
  • Susanne Pfeifer is a computational evolutionary biologist who studies genetic and evolutionary processes by combining cutting-edge high-throughput sequence data analysis and model-based statistical inference.
  • Junwen Wang is a Professor of Biomedical Informatics working on bioinformatics, computational genomics and precision medicine.
  • Assistant professor in the School of Molecular Sciences. His research group’s primary focus is the structural biology of the membrane complexes involved in oxygenic photosynthesis.
