Professor of Genetics, Genomics, and Development; Director, Center for Computational Biology; Professor. Provided insights into gene silencing, demonstrating silenced chromatin epigenetic inheritance, the requirements for the Origin-Recognition Complex, and the molecular link between gene-specific repression and regional silencing, suggesting how silencing spreads and is inherited. Discovered novel mechanisms for regulating cholesterol biosynthesis and the involvement of cholesterol pathway intermediates in post-translational protein processing.
