Interested in becoming a genetic counselor? Visit our open house to learn more about the Wayne State University Genetic Counseling Graduate Program. Recent
research conducted by Center Assistant Professor Dr. Kezhong
Zhang, has discovered why people living in congested, urban
environments are at greater risk of developing metabolic disease.
The study focuses on air particulate matter, called PM 2.5, and
its affects on the liver. More information is available here. Wayne
State's Systems Biology of Epilepsy Project, led by Jeffrey
Loeb, MD, PhD, Associate Director of the Center for Molecular Medicine
and Genetics and Professor of Neurology, has released three new,
published studies that could have a major impact on the treatment of
epilepsy. Find out more here. Gregory
Kapatos, PhD, Professor of Molecular Medicine and Genetics and of
Pharmacology and Leonard Lipovich, PhD, Assistant Professor of
Molecular Medicine and Genetics and of Neurology have received the 2012
College Teaching Award in the School of Medicine. Michael Tainsky,
PhD, Professor of Oncology and of Molecular Medicine and Genetics and
Derek Wildman, PhD, Associate Professor of Molecular Medicine and
Genetics and of Obstetrics and Gynecology have received the 2012
Research Excellence Award in the School of Medicine. The Center would
like to welcome Dr. Samiran Ghosh. Dr. Ghosh, a biostatistician,
will be Assistant Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health
Sciences and of Molecular Medicine and Genetics. He comes from the
Stony Brook University School of Medicine in New York, where he worked
on several depression-based projects. He has also published a
book titled, "Bayesian Modeling in Bioinformatics."
The Center would like to introduce Erin Carmany,
MSCGC, who will be Assistant Professor of Molecular Medicine and
Genetics as well as Associate Director of the Genetic Counseling
graduate program. Ms. Carmany has served in the graduate program
since 2005 as a clinical instructor.
Dr. Leonard Lipovich,
Assistant Professor of Genetics and Molecular Medicine and of
Neurology, is determined to prove genetic material once seen as "junk"
to be of clinical value. Dr. Lipovich's lab has already
contributed several articles to the Encyclopedia of DNA (ENCODE),
an international collaborative effort that is the follow-up to the
Human Genome Project. This work is putting Wayne State
University at the forefront of genome analysis, and bringing it
alongside high-profile researcher groups in the United States, and
Japan. The Center welcomes Dr. Roger Pique-Regi
as its newest faculty member. Dr. Pique-Regi is the new
Assistant Professor of Molecular Medicine and Genetics and also with
the Department of Clinical and Translational Sciences. His lab
focuses on the topic of genetic instability, specifically finding the
DNA sequences responcible for gene expression and how genetic
instability can lead to disease. His lab also distributes two
software packages, CENTIPEDE and GADA, programs used for genetic
analysis.
Dr. Maik Hüttemann,
who is Associate Professor of Molecular Medicine and Genetics and also
of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, has been selected to receive a
2012 President's Award for Excellence in Teaching. Dr. Hüttemann
will be presented with the award at the Wayne State University Academic
Recognition Ceremony held April 26 at the McGregor Memorial Conference Center, where he will receive a citation and a cash award of $2,500.
Dr. Jeffrey A. Loeb,
Professor of Neurology and of Molecular Medicine and Genetics, and
Associate Director of the Center, has been selected to receive the 2012
Charles H. Gershenson Distinguished Faculty Fellowship. Dr. Loeb
will receive the Fellowship on July 1st, which includes a total of $13,000 in funds for the next two years.
Monica Uddin, PhD, Assistant
Professor of Molecular Medicine and Genetics and of Psychiatry and
Behavioral Neurosciences, has been awarded the 2012 Eli Robins, Samuel
Guze award for early career promise by the American Psychopathological
Association. More... News Archive |
