Dr. Maitreya Dunham comes to Genome Sciences from Princeton University, where she is currently a Lewis-Sigler Fellow. Her lab studies genome evolution and genetic networks in yeasts using experimental evolution and genomic tools.
Dr. Christine Queitsch comes to Genome Sciences from the FAS Center of Systems Biology at Harvard University where she completed a Bauer Fellowship. Her research seeks to characterize molecular mechanisms that govern phenotypic robustness and that can rapidly generate selectable phenotypic variation in a multicellular organism.
Dr. Jay Shendure comes to Genome Sciences from Harvard Medical School where he completed his PhD and will soon complete his MD. His research interests include the development of new technologies for DNA sequencing and their application to study genomic variation in humans.
