Profiles in "Genetics" Expertise Area

  • Chen's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of DNA break repair, homologous recombination, genome organization and evolution.
  • Samantha's current research involves genetics and neuroimaging in older adults with autism. She is investigating how Alzheimer's risk genes may affect individuals with autism differently than the neurotypical population.
  • Krystal Tsosie (DinĂ©/Navajo Nation), PhD, MPH, MA is an Indigenous geneticist-bioethicist at Arizona State University. Research: ethical engagement with Indigenous communities in precision health and genomic medicine.
  • de Belle examines how the brain wires, works and changes to support learning and memory in flies and humans.
