“How biology works is foundational for understanding how to fix things when they go wrong. I believe in the power of genetics and genomic technology to facilitate discovery at all levels, not only with disease but in basic questions about pathways and principles in biology of all animals, including humans.” — Greg Barsh, MD, PhD Research Focus: Greg Barsh, MD, PhD, is a faculty investigator, faculty chair and Smith Family Chair in Genomics at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, and a professor of genetics at Stanford University. His research group studies the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms that underlie differences in individual appear- ance and that could give new insight into both basic biology and human disease.

“With genome testing, you can turn up another 25 percent of diagnoses where you had failed in the past. So take 20 kids. For five of them, you’re going to find a slam-dunk diagnosis, the answer they may have looked for years to find.” — David Bick, MD
