Richard M. Myers, PhD
“We have the capability of really changing the world with genomics, both in our work with human genomes and with organisms that are important to agriculture and the environment” — Richard M. Myers, PhD Research Focus: Richard M. Myers, PhD, is president, science director, M.A. Loya Chair in Genomics, and a faculty investigator at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. 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 it on gene expression and the brain.

Devin Absher, PhD
“The epigenome sits at this interface between the genes we inherit and the environment we’re exposed to. Anything that is complex and likely has a genetic and environmental component is a candidate for epigenetic analysis.” — Devin Absher, PhD Research Focus: Devin Absher, PhD, is the Director for Genomic Health and a faculty investigator at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. His research focuses on the application of genomics to complex human diseases and traits, including genome-wide association studies and epigenetic studies.
