Michele Calos
Professor of Genetics
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. -

Luigi Cavalli-Sforza
Professor of Genetics, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research is dedicated to the study of the origin of modern humans and their evolutionary history by using genetic markers. Presently, the laboratory is concentrating on the study of Y chromosomes. My personal interest has also been dedicated for a long time to a multidisciplinary approach to human evolution, including demography, archeology, linguistics, anthropology, surnames, and to the interactions of genetic and cultural evolution.

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.
