Huaying Fang
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My research aims to develop efficient computational approaches for constructing meaningful networks using multi-omics data. The rapid development of sequencing technologies produces a lot of multi-omics data. We could construct much more stable and accurate biological networks from these multi-omics data than only one-omic data. Then we can make further analysis on the association between networks and diseases from the system views.

George D. Smith Professor in Molecular and Genetic Medicine and Professor of Pathology and of Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly Interests We study natural cellular mechanisms for adapting to genetic change. These include systems activated during normal development and those for detecting and responding to foreign or unwanted genetic activity. Underlying these studies are questions of how a cells can distinguish information as "self" versus "nonself" or "wanted" versus "unwanted".

Current Research and Scholarly Interests Mammalian DNA repair and DNA damage inducible responses; p53 tumor suppressor gene; transcription in nucleotide excision repair and mutagenesis; genetic determinants of cancer cell sensitivity to DNAdamage; genetics of inherited cancer susceptibility syndromes and human GI malignancies; clinical cancer genetics of BRCA1 and BRCA2 breast cancer and mismatch repair deficient colon cancer.

Polly Fordyce
Assistant Professor of Genetics and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The Fordyce Lab is focused on developing new instrumentation and assays for making quantitative, systems-scale biophysical measurements of molecular interactions. Current research in the lab is focused on two main areas: using microfluidic tools we have already developed to build ground-up quantitative models of how gene expression is regulated, and developing new tools to explore protein-protein interactions.
