RICHARD M. MYERS
Richard M. Myers, PhD, is Chief Scientific Officer, President emeritus, M. A. Loya Chair in Genomics, and faculty investigator at HudsonAlpha Institute
for Biotechnology. Research Focus
His lab applies functional genomics and genetics approaches to understand how genes and regulatory regions contribute to basic biology, human disease, and responses to the environment. A major focus of his lab is on gene expression and the brain. Expertise Functional genomics, gene expression, neurological and psychiatric diseases Lab Members Senior Scientists: Ben Henderson, PhD, Matthew Knuesel, PhD, Jacob Loupe, PhD, Mark Mackiewicz, PhD, Belle Moyers, PhD, Chris Partridge, PhD, Lindsay Rizzardi, PhD, Brian Roberts, and Ivan Rodriguez Nunez, PhD Research Associates: Megan McEown, Sarah Meadows, Amy Nesmith,
