Outside the lab
Nadav Ahituv, PhD
Professor
nadav.ahituv@ucsf.edu6
Discovering gene regulatory elements in the human genome and linking mutations within them to specific phenotypes.
Juggling, biking, indie movies and music, perfecting my homemade hummus and doing scientific outreach.
Functional characterization of regulatory elements involved in neural disease and discovering novel systems for precise gene regulation.
I enjoy reading, watching sci-fi movies and eating hotpot
Investigating the role of gene regulatory elements in neurodegenerative diseases.
I love traveling, visiting the city and diving. I also really like food, reading Harry Potter (again) and cuddling my two cats.
Leveraging the evolutionary history and genetics of gene regulatory elements to manipulate human gene expression.
Running, seeing friends, wandering the Sierras.
Studying the variation in genes and regulatory elements involved in the metabolism of drugs and dietary compounds.
I'm a social activist at heart, love spending time with my family and friends and never miss a chance to dance to the beat when music is playing.
Understanding gene regulation and the impact of noncoding genetic variation in neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Swimming, hiking, biking, or just enjoying the sunshine! I also love table tennis, cooking and baking.
Characterizing gene regulatory elements and their utilization for gene therapy in haploinsufficient diseases.
I love science fiction, walking and cycling in the city, and swimming.
Nick Page
Graduate Student
nick.page@ucsf.edu13
Functional genomics approaches to understand and rescue changes in gene regulation that underlie autism spectrum disorders.
I love curling up with a good book or backpacking around California.
Ryder Easterlin
Graduate Student
ryder.easterlin@ucsf.edu14
Studying the role of non-coding variation in archaic and modern human evolution, specifically regarding phenotypic divergence between the lineages.
Some of my favorite things to do outside of the lab are climbing, sailing on San Francisco Bay, and playing strategy board games and videogames. Always looking for new passions/hobbies as well!
Mai Nobuhara
Graduate Student
mai.nobuhara@ucsf.edu15
Studying the function of gene regulatory elements during cardiac development and applying the resulting knowledge to therapeutic development.
I enjoy going to farmers’ markets to find seasonal ingredients and try new recipes. I also like to propagate plants in my room.
Orry Elor
Graduate Student
orry.elor@ucsf.edu16
Developing tools to illuminate hidden genomic features to uncover novel mechanisms for improving human health for all.
Training in the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling in the style of the Greeks and Romans, and working out to fuel my inner foodie.
Kelly An
Laboratory Manager
kelly.an@ucsf.edu17
CRISPRa gene therapy to treat diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
Hiking, eating, and trying new things!
Maggie Liang
Staff Research Associate
maggie.liang@ucsf.edu18
Studying the role of gene regulatory elements in metabolic processing and scoliosis.
In my free time I enjoy listening to music while baking, seeking out the best coffee spots in the city, and stopping for four-legged friends along the way.
