Outside the lab
Nadav Ahituv, PhD
Professor
[email protected]
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.
Navneet Matharu
Associate Researcher
[email protected]
Understanding the complex nature of regulatory elements and their functional mechanisms for controlling gene expression during development and evolution.
I need a healthy dose of walk or talk with friends. More often in my free time I cook or think.
Computational work on the ENCODE project. Select candidate sequences for functional analyses and carry out computational analyses of results from our massively parallel reporter assays and other genomic assays.
I enjoy food, random zumba dancing, and interacting across cultures with people from diverse backgrounds.
Understanding the genetic basis for limb morphological diversity and congenital malformations through in vivo functional dissection of cis-regulatory elements.
I like listening to classical instrumental music. I often visit the San Francisco Symphony at Davies Symphony Hall.
Identification and characterization of genes that regulate human milk production in different cells types in the mammary gland during lactation and identification of genetic and epigenetic factors leading to low human breast milk supply.
I love to ride my bike, hike, and spend time with my family.
Exploring the molecular mechanisms of regulatory element and TADs, especially their functions to the associated diseases.
I like playing ball games, such as table tennis, badminton, and tennis. I also work out and go swimming on weekends.
Identifying regulatory elements of genes that are associated with obesity and sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue distribution.
Tennis, travel, and FOOD!
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.
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.
Studying gene regulation in animal models of developmental and neurobiological diseases and disorders.
I like baking (more for the product than the process), drawing and painting (more for the process than the product), and animals, especially dogs! I also like bouldering, hiking, and ultimate frisbee.
Understanding how transporters and drug-related enzymes change through evolution and how these changes contribute to diseases.
I enjoy walking around the city, being surrounded by nature, and also trying to learn more about cooking.

Exploring the role of gene regulatory elements in disease and neurodevelopment.
I enjoy exploring new restaurants and coffee shops around the city. Most weekends you can find me at Dolores Park enjoying the sun and a Mission burrito.
Jasmine Sims
Graduate Student
[email protected]
Exploring how changes in short DNA sequences influence gene regulation, using bioinformatics as a tool.
I enjoy roller skating, traveling, listening to audible books, spending time with friends and family, and of course science.
Candace Chan
Graduate Student
[email protected]
Understanding sequence features of regulatory elements and how their activity can control gene expression during development.
Reading, biking around the city, and meeting people’s pets.
Nick Page
Graduate Student
[email protected]
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
[email protected]
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
[email protected]
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.
Cassandra Biellak
Undergraduate Assistant
[email protected]
Investigating the use of gene therapy tools to prevent obesity and metabolic diseases.
I enjoy skiing, traveling to new places, taking walks with my dog, and playing the trumpet in my university's wind ensemble.
Kelly An
Laboratory Manager
[email protected]
CRISPRa gene therapy to treat diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
Hiking, eating, and trying new things!
