Investigators

		Job Dekker, PhD Professor Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology Co-Director Program in Systems Biology Investigator Howard Hughes Medical Institute University of Massachusetts Medical School To study the spatial organization of genomes and the roles of the three-dimensional arrangement of chromosomes in processes such as transcription regulation, chromosome segregation and genome stability, both in normal development and homeostasis and in human diseases such as cancer.

		Manuel Garber, PhD Associate Professor Program in Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology and Program in Molecular Medicine Director Bioinformatics Core University of Massachusetts Medical School To study the evolution of transcriptional control and non-coding RNAs in mammals through development and analysis of sequence-based molecular biology approaches.

		Dale Greiner, PhD Professor Program in Molecular Medicine Co-Director, Diabetes Center of Excellence Dr. Eileen L. Berman and Stanley I. Berman Foundation Chair in Biomedical Research Professor University of Massachusetts Medical School Developing novel approaches for identifying the cause of human disease, including diabetes and cancers, and to test approaches to prevent and cure these diseases using a unique model system termed “humanized” mice that permits the study of functional human cells and tissues without putting patients at risk.

		Jeremy Luban, MD Professor Program in Molecular Medicine and Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology David J. Freelander Professor in AIDS Research University of Massachusetts Medical School

		Rene Maehr, PhD Assistant Professor Diabetes Center of Excellence and Program in Molecular Medicine University of Massachusetts Medical School

		Oliver Rando, MD/PhD Professor Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology University of Massachusetts Medical School

		Scot Wolfe, PhD Professor Molecular, Cell and Cancer Biology University of Massachusetts Medical School Pursuing the development of artificial gene regulation and gene editing tools to evaluate gene function and provide foundational technology for gene therapy applications.
		Nir Yosef, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Center for Computational Biology University of California Berkeley To utilize high-throughput genomic data sets, mostly based on DNA sequencing, in order to build models that explain how gene expression is regulated. I have special interest in immune cells, covering various aspects of their biology, such as their differentiation, stability/plasticity, and response to acute stimulation.
